Update access table to sql table



Hi all
Probably been answered before however i cant get a specific guide through
searches anywhere.

I Have an access table X it has 4million entries. Ive uploaded X to SQL as a
backend and linked it to my access db.
I create a temp table(Y) (only 2 columns) using data from X, do some calcs,
I then wish to update a new field in X lets call it 'Field1'. So when i
create an update query in access and innerjoin X to Y use its 2 primary keys
and try to update Field1 from temp table Y it takes about 30mins then bombs
out.
Anyway way to make this work and quicker?
I read that access loads the stuff into ram then trys to update the X table
in sql but i just dont understand why the query cant do it alot quicker.i
tried passthrough queries but that kept asking where is Y table.
if i append to sql table X it works fine but updating is the problem
any idea?
