Here's a little trick I learned from one of the tech guys and help in this forum.  If you're not going to be reposing the mil peeps, open a fresh scene, import them one by one and save them as a .vob in your personal collection.  Do this for each mil peep you want to import and then close and restart Vue.  Once you do that, you can load each of the .vob's and you should see both a size reduction in the file and more stability in the program.  And don't forget to purge your memory each time you save a peep to .vob.  That way the initial obj goes out of memory and you have better resource management for the next one.
