Is that 117,200 points or 1,172,100 points? In either case, there's
almost certainly something wrong with your file, as you have either
50K or 5K bytes per point, which is off by one or more orders of
magnitude.<br>

For comparison, I created a set of 1M random points with 14
attributes inherited from the polygon they lie in. This includes 3
qlongong fields, 9 doubles, and 3 strings with a total length of 40
chars. I saved this as a shapefile and the total size is ~300M.<br>
