I work with large 'xar' files, 50 -100 MB.

They contain many large bitmaps, both imported and created.

It takes a long time to save these large files, which I do very often for protection.

Computer, RAM or video card do not seem to make a big difference. ( P4 2.8, 3GB, ATI 9800 256MB ) vs. ( Dual Xeon 2.8, ATI PCI-E 512, 4GB plus 2GB PCI RAM card. )

Is there anything to do about it ? ... Pagefile ?

Thank you,
