I can't understand this (if it is really MINUTES), by doing the following:

IDL> openr, 1, 'File.dat'
IDL> dum = assoc(1, bytarr(ncols,nrows))
IDL> img = dum(0)

I load for example the first band of a raster file with 6100 columns and 8260 rows
(i.e. 50 MB) on our IBM RS6000/990 in less then 5 seconds into memory. On the IBM
550 it takes a little longer but less then 30 seconds in any case.
