Steve,

I would normally do just that, but what I'm accually testing for is 
performance, so I need the big files to make the query optimizer make the 
same decisions it would under normal loading.

Rick,

If you're concerned about the size of the files, why not copy a small 
subset
of the data in the component PF's to a separate library and build your 
join
logical there?

That is what I do in these situations to save both space and time.
