You might want to try my RunSnakeRun utility:
http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/runsnakerun/
It's designed to load large hotspot runs. I've never had a 355 MB one,
but I regularly load 140+MB ones on a desktop 1GB machine. It does an
incremental load, so you start to see results as soon as it starts
running and continues loading the data-set in the background (it can
take quite a while for the full data-set to load, but I don't *think* it
should run out of RAM).
In case you don't want the GUI, the package includes the core
hotshotreader module that actually does the incremental loading, you
could use that to produce a view by writing code to display the results
statically.
HTH,
Mike
