> What Flight or OpenFlight version is the database(s)?
The database was created long before I came on board but I believe 14.0.
That's the version of Multigen we have.
> Are you using external references? What version is the referencing file?
If I understand you correctly, Yes. We have a Multigen flight file which
references other Multigen flight files and loads them during the load.
> Are you using MIPS II binaries?
using -mips2 -o32
> How much RAM does you machine have?
256MB
> How much swap space does your machine have?
# path pri pswap free maxswap vswap
1 /dev/swap 0 514.00m 489.61m 514.00m 0.00k
> What are your shell "limit" values?

It does not appear to be a swap space problem. With osview, it now appears
to be compute bound. I've got 4 processors running between 75% and 100% and
the only thing running is perfly. RAM is comsumed at about 1MB/5seconds.
It is really wierd. The database references about 24 flight files. The
first 7 load within 5 seconds. The rest take about 10 to 15 minutes each.
I can load each file individually with perfly in about 3 to 4 seconds. Why
would it start so quickly and then just die?

Thanks much!
