Hai Perlsen,

I dont think there is any command to increase processor speed...so better go for higher configuration, if u want to do soo...

And more over if my understanding is correct. U can read the file and process line by line instead of processing the whole file to increase performance ....

say...

open(FIN,">monster_file) || die "Cant open";
while(<FIN>) {
$line = $_;
.....
.....
}

The above mentioned is to give an idea on how to handle the large files..wrap up ur ideas over it..
