I will run a script on a Windows XP PC against a file of MARC records and it appears that the script significanly stresses my PC; the drive light stays on, the fan runs continuously, it heats up, For example a script may run against a file of records by checking against another file, and then writing the revised records out to a new file, and this script may run several hours before completing. Is there any way to make the script less stressful, perhaps by pausing or hanging between records, or after reading from or writing to disk?
