Once you run out of RAM and start paging you'll never stop. This is headache with the Pharlap memory manager and has been since R1. The only way to stop using the swap is to re-start 3DS. The incredible need for this glitch to be fixed has been paramount for three years and it is amazing it has not been corrected yet – maybe, finally in R4. If your doing a lot of DXF translations, the DXF3DS.EXE utility (that came out to fix a bug with R1) is still the best convertor around since it lets you control all the parameters, including the critical arc-segmentation missing form R3's, for each translation. It also works fine in a 3DS or ACAD shell. Get it, use it, it's on the forum. p.s. – You can usually do a better job of welding, and especially smoothing, by selection after import than the convertors can.
