Grep in delimited file

Here is my file : (pipe delimited file)

abc|abc|11112|ffff|3333|oo
abc|abc|11112|ffff|3333|oo
abc|11112|ffff|2222|oo
abc|abc|11112|ffff|3333|oo
abc|22222|ffff|1111|oo

I need 2 things :
1. Need to grep for all rows where in 5th column is 3333. (i can do this using awk.. but my actual file has around 18 million rows... so awk takes more than an hour as 'awk' reads the file line by line).. so i am looking for a solution using grep.
2. Need to grep for alll the lines having the pattern 'abc' in column 1 and 'ffff' in column 4th.

please let me know whether this looks feasible .. thx a lot for helping me out !!!

FS_WHEREIS(1)						       AFS Command Reference						     FS_WHEREIS(1)

NAME
fs_whereis - Reports each file server housing a file or directory SYNOPSIS
fs whereis [-path <dir/file path>+] [-help] fs whe [-p <dir/file path>+] [-h] DESCRIPTION
The fs whereis command returns the name of each file server machine that houses the volume containing each directory or file named by the -path argument. OPTIONS
-path <dir/file path>+ Names each AFS file or directory for which to return the host file server machine. Partial pathnames are interpreted relative to the current working directory, which is also the default value if this argument is omitted. -help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. OUTPUT
The output includes a line for each specified directory or file. It names the file server machine on which the volume that houses the specified directory or file resides. A list of multiple machines indicates that the directory or file is in a replicated volume. Machine names usually have a suffix indicating their cell membership. If the cell is not clear, use the fs whichcell command to display the cell in which the directory or file resides. To display the cell membership of the local machine, use the fs wscell command. EXAMPLES
The following example indicates that volume housing the directory /afs/abc.com resides is replicated on both "fs1.abc.com" and "fs3.abc.com": % fs whereis -path /afs/abc.com File /afs/abc.com is on hosts fs1.abc.com fs3.abc.com PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
