dealing with very big (upto 1Gb) svg file

Hi,

I have to visualize some values from a big text file with svg rect and with
different colors,
but the svg file I generate is so big in size that firefox/safari crashes to
open it.

Description about the input text file:

Its a comma separated csv text file which contains float values like:
0.70, 0.50,0.98,0.78,0.61,0.88......... 
160 of the above values in one line and more than 100,000 lines.

I have a c script which parse the csv file and writes <rect> tags in svg and
with style=fill: rgb( , , ) values filled from the input csv file.

If I just parse some 1000 lines from the input csv file the generated svg is
about 50-100MB and I can 
view it as I wanted, but when I parse more and more, the generated svg
becomes very big and
safari/firefox hangs to open this big svg file.
I have 4GB RAM in my machine.

Any help to deal with this problem or do it in another better way will be
much appreciated.

Thanks,

Best regards,
