[Biodevelopers] XML for huge DB?

[Michael Gruenberger]

Hello,

if you are on Unix, does 'nice' do what you are asking?!
See:
http://www.phys.ksu.edu/~esry/Computing/Nicing.html
And: 
man nice

I don't know if it affects memory usage, but you can give your parsing
process a lower priority so it shouldn't take your whole system down...

Cheers,

Michael
