If I'm reading the rapidly scrolling text correctly... which I think I
am; it's printing three lines (one blank) for every -PAGE- it's
writing to my swap (or processing in memory... same/diff)...

My system has 4GB of ram and 4GB of swap... that's something like up
to a million print operations for just the ram.  Unless there's some
reason to do otherwise, I very much recommend only printing on say,
every megabyte or more, until right near the very end...
