I don't care, really. I'm still wondering why we needed those newfangled
L*P tools, anyways. :) I've always been amused at how everyone who
creates a part library uses a totally wron^H^H^H^Hdifferent
coordinate system and names the pieces totally differently.
I have about half the L3G0 parts positioned the same way as LDRAW.
I gave up when TLG brought the hammer down on BriCad.

10,000? Cool. The most I did was a 3,000 piece model. No trouble with
memory, even though it mapped into 890,000 primitives (that's what
rounded edges and raised logos will get ya).
