Does anyone have any tips or pointers for reading in large excel files? I 
expect to be working with files over 100megs... as far as I can tell, even 
after registering a listener, POI reads the entire file before disposing of it, 
which equals heap space errors for me. Do methods exist for parsing each line 
of an excel doc as poi reads it in from the stream, getting access to those 
cell objects, and then allowing the objects to be garbage collected as I move 
on to the next row of cells?

Thanks in advance for your advice!
