People break text in chapters, export the chapters as pdf and use the 
different available tools to assemble pdf files. That works. Besides 
that, I have to agree that the efficiency of Quark concerning memory are 
hard to achieve. But I think that this is related to the fact that Quark 
more or less assembled files - without doing much processing on them.

CU Lars.
