I won't hit the memory limit because i only read about 10 to 64Kb at a
tim from the file, process it and output it to the other one.
I'm not sure that increasing the execution time will be the solution,
this thing should be able to process files of about 100-200Mb, and if i
need 30seconds for a 2-3Mb file, i can't imagine how long it will take
to process a 100Mb file. during this time the user won't get any
feedback...
I'm goint to take your solution into consideration, longer exection
time and a FAST server might do the trick...
