If you are using a 64-bit OS, try:
Code:
paste -d" " file2 file1

or if you must use awk:
Code:
awk '{p=$0; getline<f; print $0,p}' f=file2 file1

Otherwise what is your OS and version?

You store hugefile1 in memory. You would need enough memory and a 64bit awk to handle it.
There is certainly a smarter solution...
Sorry I didn't see the last posts.
