First thing I'd look at doing is to create the temp files in /tmp (*nix) or 
/temp (windoze); just that and a memory file system for /tmp would do 
wonders for throughput. Admittedly, it's not a real solution.

Past that, I suspect that any other change to use memory buffers instead of 
files will be a more structural change. If I have a chance, I'll look at the 
code tomorrow.

(z wonders why the code's author thought this was a good idea...)

Later,

z!
