Do some simple profiling to figure out why the heck it takes so long to
load a text file from disk.  It shouldn't take long to narrow things
down.



This should be an extremely fast operation.  A quick google shows
examples of disk access speeds that are 40 MB/sec, and that doesn't count
the benefits of caching by the OS.  It ain't disk I/O that's
constraining this process ...



My guess is there are _lots_ of "news" and "deletes"
inside loops.



If this guess is correct, then you could allocate one pool of Incident
objects at app startup that the resource framework draws from and
replenishes as it processes the file.
