Understanding memory and cpu speed

Firstly, I am working on a windows xp 64 machine with 4gb ram and 2.29 ghz x4

I am indexing 220,000 lines of text that are more or less the same length. These are divided into 15 equally sized files. File 1/15 takes 1 minute to index. As the script indexes more files, it seems to take much longer with file 15/15 taking 40 minutes.

My understanding is that the more I put in memory, the faster the script is. The dictionary is indexed in a hash, so fetch operations should be O(1). I am not sure where the script would be hanging the CPU.

I have the script here.

You can try to monitor your machine to see if you're running out of memory. If so, you may want to look for memory leaks in your code.
