Tried this method, with the empty table making sure the memory is
released, over the weekend. The good news is the memory usage seems to
be OK. The bad news is the code now processes records at roughly half
the speed it did before. It shouldn't run into the problem with
performance dying after a few hours but I was wondering if there is
any way to keep the program working at full speed. Is there a large
overhead in the above method or am I missing something.
