Yes, sounds like an application that would need to use Tiger, with
Cocoa for
the user interface only, and a 64-bit backend process, and C++ &
STL/Loki/Boost.
Sounds more like an application that should just make intelligent use

multiple machines possible).. unless, of course, the software
requirements are 16gb of ram and a coffee break before loading or
saving a file :)
