Copying a single body 3,000 times

I have this pattern of small rectangles that I need toduplicate 3,000 times. I have tried making one and then doing aPattern/Linear Pattern and I finally ctl-alt-del after 1/2 hour. Itried the same thing by doing a 5x5 pattern and then a 5x5 of thatpattern and that seemed to take the same amount of time.

Does anybody have any suggestions regarding how to make such a bigset of copies of the same shape?

By the way, that shape is a parallelogram that is extruded and thenfilleted.SolidworksGeneral
