<SNIP strange...

> Sorry - the file size is actually 37.0 GB...

how can that be?

% using your numbers from the first post
     37*2^30/6500000
% ans = 6112.1 % <- bytes/line
% but you also tell CSSM that

Each row contains about
15,000 data in comma delimiter format.

???
your file should be MUCH bigger than 37g - even if a line 
looked like this

     n,n,n,n,...

can you be more specific on what you mean by a 15k comma 
delimited data line looks like?
