Is your large program long-running, and are you waiting for the output 
as it runs? If so, you might want to check to see if your output is
being buffered--many I/O libraries will buffer output which isn't
going to a terminal device. Once you pipe stdout to another program,
it isn't going to a terminal, and so the behavior changes.
