Sooo..... if you stored this stuff on punched paper tape it would be long
enough to stretch something like 10 times around the planet - unless those
were binary orders of magnitude, in which case it would be a mere 1600 km
long :). Heh, I *said* you must be working with relatively large amounts of
relatively simple data, but I had no idea. (Don't tell me its relatively
complex data... if it is then a 500 second saving would become insignificant
next to the hours, days, weeks or whatever that your code would be spending
"inside" the data rather than "in-between" it).
Cheers
