No, you have a very small database.

Can you just load the data into a DataSet and use it in memory. That's
fast.

Yes it will. How much, and wether it is too much, you can test.

Thanks - I think that I could cope with the mem usage over cpu usage - I
believe the Dataset is probable best option - thanks for your help
