It's data from a database and I'm using variables to store these results, and later re-display them back to the screen for different fields on the screen.
My thinking was that it'll be faster having everything in memory rather than passing to file I/O. But now that I realized that 'getconf ARG_MAX' returns only 131072 bytes (linux 2.6.9), I'll have to go with the file I/O option.
Thanks, Jeff.
