Richard, thanks a lot for the sample stack. I downloaded and tested
"LargeFileRead.livecode". Unfortunately it also creates the same symptoms
on Windows...
The responsiveness is a separate matter, well covered in Mark's replies.
Here my interest is in making sure your operation runs and efficiently
as it can.
Have you had a chance to explore measuring different executions times as
you adjust the kBufferSize constant at the top of the script?
Here on my Linux box I found, rather surprisingly, that a buffer as
small as 128k delivered optimal speeds. In discussing this with Peter
Brett it turns out there are memory-mappings provided by the OS that
seem to play a role there.
It would be very interesting to me to learn what buffer size you find
optimal on Windows.
