The OS manages virtual memory and will move pages in and out of physical memory for you. There is no need to worry about the system loosing data. However you should be aware of this and try to control the way your code accesses memory. if your code randomly accesses the data, you can cause the system to spend a lot time moving pages in and out of memory. So processing in sections would help manage the performance.

Hi list,
SImilar question : how would you proceed if you
had to process a 16 Gb xml file (with no return chars)
with LC on a Mac with only 4 Gb of RAM ?
I managed to process the file in sections, but I always
fear the script would miss some nodes here and there...

Thanks in advance
jbv
