Jon, please use Instruments.app (and/or various related tools; Activity Monitor.app, Shark.app, sample, top, fs_usage, vm_stat, vmmap/vmmap64, etc.) to understand what your process it doing both in terms of IO, memory utilization/allocations and even CPU time. Using those tools you can understand what your application is doing and make informed decisions on what, if anything, you need to change/optimize. You so far haven't listed any actual data about what is going on so we can only speculate and you yourself appear to be making guesses and assumptions on limited information/knowledge. Save yourself time (and us) by using the available tools to analyze things.
