VB6 and DC

i have created a dc tool in Visual Basic 6. I know its not the fastest langwage, but the file like loading is extreamly SLOW!!! There has be be a way to speed it up. I have decoded the file and have a plain txt copy on the drive .... I have setup a loop to read the file line by line after loading the entire file into a string varible. This is where it takes forever. if the list is some what simple (like few dir levels and not 1000's of files) it loads quickly. Its when there are large numbers of dir's and files everywhere when it laggggggggs (up to 30 min per list)!!! i was wondering if anyone knew of a faster way to do this! if you would like to look at the source code it is available at http://www.1stleg.com under projects. Its called Ragnarok. If any one can help please let me know.
