Hotshot? Sounds trés cool... was not aware of that module. I will play
with that.

As for the process... the Real memory goes up and down widely, from a
few Mb to up above 200Mb (I have 512Mb ram), while the Virtual grows
slowly but stays stable... currently doing the 700K chunk, it is at
1.07Gb.

The %CPU behaves bizarrely... sometimes consumes about 70%, and at
other times, less than 1%... the machine is however very much slowed
down at all times...

Currently: %CPU 10.5, Real 122.41, Virtual 1.07Gb.
