Memo Bloat during update routine...

I have an app that updates insurance plans. I store some general notes about each plan in a memo field. This field usually contains 7 or 8 small sentences. My problem is that when I populate this information (one sentence at a time) for thousands of plans the memo field bloats to >330 mb. After packing the memo (and 10 minutes) it goes down to 50mb. I'm worried about users running out of disk space. Is there a way to reduce this without stopping in the middle of the routine and doing a pack memo? I update the memo fields with the following code:

REPL myMemo WITH ALLT(myMemo)+CHR(13)+cNewLine IN myTable

I have also used the ADDITIVE reference:

REPL myMemo WITH CHR(13)+cNewLine ADDITIVE IN myTable

This gives no relief to the file size issue.

TIA,
Marcus.
