[re-Resolved] Access not using enough CPU?

[Ecniv]

Hi,

I'm processing large text files and dumping them into tables (1.7gb of files spread over around 10-20 files).

I would expect Access to eat most of the CPU power.

It doesn't. It seems to peak at 35% (via task manager) then drop back to 0.

I am using API calls to open and read the text file (as this was a hell of a lot faster than using Access functions/methods or VBA open file commands).

Would there be some setting on Xp to slow it down?
Or is this something Access usually does?
Has anyone come across this before?

I would prefer a higher cpu usage as that would mean (I hope) that the files would be process faster.

Comments please
