[mkgmap-dev] splitter OutOfMemoryError

Mon Mar 8 15:41:16 GMT 2010

The memory required by the splitter is roughly proportional to max-nodes 
multiplied by the number of areas being processed per pass. I see you're 
setting --max-nodes=4500000, which is rather high. To reduce the memory required 
you can set --max-areas to something lower than the default of 255. This 
will reduce the amount of memory required, but at the cost of additional 
passes over the data.

Also, does machine B have a 64 bit VM by any chance? This will also increase 
the memory requirements somewhat, especially if compressed OOPS is disabled/unavailable.
