Sorry, I don't (yet) know anything about externals on Mac.

This may be just idle curiosity, but - are you saying that filtering an 
80Mb file takes 50 mins ?
How complex a filter are you using ? built-in filter command or 
something more complex ?

That seems awfully slow - the filter command on a 80Mb (600K line)  file 
takes only between 1.7 and 12.3 seconds on my slow-ish PC laptop (varies 
according to the filter search I use).
