Hi,

How do you guys suggest I go about packing a Data.fs that has ballooned to over
8GB? (thanks to the dodgy import problems I mentioned here and on zope-dev)

I tried doing a simple pack on a 1GHz processor machine with 1GB RAM. it quickyl
became memory bound and I expect the disk was happilly thrashing away...

IS this to be expected? If so, what shoudl I do about it?

cheers,

Chris
