I don't really understand what your response has to do with the original 
question of why memory increases largely when running the splitter for 
say resolution=16 instead of resolution=13. Of course I know that 24 is 
the most detailed resolution. Resolution 24 has to be included in any 
map, all other additional resolutions are optional. I don't understand 
why the splitter needs crazy high memory requirements if splitting for 
16 instead of resolution 13, as a map with the lowest resolution of 13 
could include resolution 16 as second level, therefore I would assume 
that splitting with resolution=13 should use more memory than splitting 
with resolution=16. The splitter can't know what intermediary 
resolutions will be used.
