Depending on your applications, archiving can dramatically improve
   performance.  Let's suppose for example, people are using an inventory
   history inquiry program and the history has 10 years of data, but 99% of
   the people only need to see what is in the last 2 weeks.

   Having 500 weeks of data in the file can slow access for people who only
   need to see 2 weeks worth.  Archiving solution makes the data available to
   the 1% applications that need to see 500 weeks, while performance
   dramatically improved for the 99% of your users.

   There's bunch of people on these lists who are familiar with the various
   archiving alternatives and can elucidate further if this interests you.
