The point was to ballpark the addition of one thousand headers. All 57MB of
headers certainly did not reside in the disk cache.

A 3B1!!!!  Holy cow. Anyone toying with a 3B1 should expect to pull some tricks
to get things to perform. 

In any case, this debate is now moot. You'll be relieved to know that the
latest revision of flex omits the user actions, dfa tables, and function
declarations from the generated headers. The resulting headers should be of
constant size, approximately 23KB.  -John
