Perhaps bioperl has a BLAST parser you could use? (I've never used their parsers, so I cannot comment further.)

I'm using BioPerl already, but I think parsing a 40-200 Mb BLAST-report is over the top and won't save much time (if at all) over calculating the similarities by myself. In fact, that would be a real memory-filler. ;-)
