I have a program with 2 for loops like this (in pseudocode):
fw = open(newLine.txt, 'w')
for i in xrange(0, 700,000, 1):
read a file fname from folder
for line in open(fname, 'r'):
do some simple string processing on line
fw.write(newline)
fw.close()
That's it. Very simple but after i reaches about 550,000 the program begins to
crawl. As an example, the loops to 550,000 takes about an hour. From 550,000
to 580,000 takes an additional 4 hours.
Any ideas about what could be going on?
