Help to improve speed of text processing script

Hey together,

You should know, that I'am relatively new to shell scripting, so my solution is probably a little awkward.

Here is the script:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

live_dir=/var/lib/pokerhands/live

for limit in `find $live_dir/ -type d  | sed -e s#$live_dir/##`; do
    cat $live_dir/$limit/* > $limit
    
    declare -a lines
    OIFS="$IFS"
    IFS=$'\n'
    set -f   # cf. help set
    lines=($(< "$limit"))
    set +f
    IFS="$OIFS"
    
    i=0
    count=0

    while [ $i -le ${#lines[@]} ]; do

        count=$[count+1]
        touch test_$count.txt
        
        while [ `ls -al test_$count.txt | awk '{print $5}'` -le 1048576 -a $i -le ${#lines[@]} ]; do
            i=$[i+1]
            if [ `expr "${lines[${i}]}" : '#Game No.*'` != 0 ]; then
                while [ `expr "${lines[${i}]}" : '.*wins.*'` = 0 ]; do
                    i=$[i+1]
                    echo "${lines[${i}]}" >> test_$count.txt
                done
                echo "" >> test_$count.txt
            fi
        done
        
    done
done

This Script splits a input file into ~1MB Parts, without destroying the data blocks.

The data blocks of the input file look something like this:

Code:
#Game No : 8273167998 
***** Hand History for Game 8273167998 *****
$100 USD NL Texas Hold'em - Saturday, July 25, 11:34:58 EDT 2009
Table Deep Stack #1459548 (No DP) (Real Money)
Seat 6 is the button
Total number of players : 6 
Seat 5: Ducilator ( $128.60 USD )
Seat 4: EvilAdj ( $145.66 USD )
Seat 3: Ice81111 ( $78.60 USD )
Seat 6: RicsterM ( $292.48 USD )
Seat 1: Techno1990 ( $141.06 USD )
Seat 2: pdiloop ( $100 USD )
Techno1990 posts small blind [$0.50 USD].
pdiloop posts big blind [$1 USD].
** Dealing down cards **
Ice81111 folds
EvilAdj folds
Ducilator raises [$4 USD]
RicsterM folds
Techno1990 folds
pdiloop folds
Ducilator does not show cards.
Ducilator wins $5.50 USD

It is working so far, but the problem is the speed ... for a ~20mb input file it runs for some hours ...

What makes it so slow?

Can anyone help me to improve the speed?
