Has anyone worked with very large data stacks -- say, 500 megs or so? Is there an appreciable slowdown? I have a client who wants to convert his HyperCard stacks as-is, without a database. I'm concerned about virtual memory swapping and other performance issues.
I haven't worked with anything that large, but I did convert a HyperCard stack that used one card per record. It had about 5000 cards. Searching using "mark card" was super-fast in HC and unusably slow in Rev, so I had to convert it to a text file database. Since Rev works by loading stacks completely into memory, I would reckon that a 500 Meg stack would not be feasible.
