I don't know if this has been mentioned but we developed a multi-threaded

1) Limit the number of threads to 5 at any time.
2) Write the data on a temporary files and read it later.
Which one is a mater of time ( speed ).
If you are reading over a network, pipe the data directly

Jason,

48Mb RAM laptop). Using top I often watch the memory utilization
creep into the swapfile. (I know, I know, I should be using jikes!)
Sorry I don't know what's up with totalMemory(). If no better
solution is found, I und
