I have a large contours file, originally a shape file which I imported
into GRASS. It takes ages (e.g. days) to do any processing on it in its
entirety because of its size (approx 700MB).

and what about v.generalize?

before going down that road you might investigate v.split and the "Florida
Coastline problem".

also (totally anecdotally and unverified) this may be a lot faster on
Linux/Mac than on Windows.
