I can remember going through this with a 10MB file about 15 year ago. It felt like a lot after growing up with floppy disks. But even a modest CPU could iterate over it quickly, I just didn't realise. I just assumed I would need to process it in a database!

Exactly!

On a somewhat related note: The original Another World[1] would probably fit into the caches that your CPU has as a matter of course these days.

My first hard drive was only 2MB larger than the caches on my CPU.
