What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use an items list of 5,000,00 long commands entries

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should run with a constant memory footprint

The memory is filled and swap occurs

Can you supply the item list and the specific PPSS command line you used to 
reproduce this issue? Thanks in 
advance.

I can't reproduce this issue on Mac OS X regarding the use of swap memory and 
thus hogging the system.

I do understand the wish for some solution that reads the file from disk and 
not reading it in memory.

I'm currently working on PPSS version 2.70. The entire ARRAY mechanism is 
replaced by using 'sed' to read 
specific lines of a file. Thus, no matter how large the input file is, PPSS 
will read items from disk and will not load 
the input file into memory.
