By the time we get the 6's done, you will need a gig+ of ram for the decompression indices and a terabyte plus for the files. You can eliminate that big RAM requirement by decompressing the tables. But be warned that 200 gigs will jump to maybe 2 terabytes of disk space to eliminate the 200mb of RAM. :) Tough trade-off... :)
