memory usage when reading (really large) files

[lmiq]

I have a CIF file with 65 million atoms. It occupies 5.7GB in the hard disk. My computer has 32GB of memory, so I would expect that the structure could be read in this machine. Nevertheless, Julia gets killed because of memory overflow.

VMD, on the other side, reads it fine.

I might take a look into that to see if there's something I can contribute, but anyway I'm reporting for us to know of the existence of the problem.

Thanks for reporting, I haven't tried very large structure files.
