Yes yes yes. Okay. I'll give you my code; I'm just embarassed that I can't get a faster time for this very simple operation. Here is what I have: 
my @matrix;
my @profile;
open PROFILES, "profile/profile.db" or die "$!";
while (<PROFILES>) {
 @profile = split (/\t/, $_);
 while ($i <= $#profile) {
  $matrix[$j]->[$i] = $profile[$i];
  $j++;
 }
 $i++;
 $j = 0;
}

Okay dvergin? I know it sucks--I'm having to load the data twice essentially, passing it once into a temporary array. Suggestions would be very very appreciated. Apologies for not giving you my code. Sorry sorry sorry. Your good acolyte, Evan
