Huge memory usage!

[Joshua Koo]

Hi guys,

look at this.

over 20 mins of running, over 400MB of memory used. the pc was laggy, so i 
killed lilypond.

fyi, i'm running a p4 2.8ghz with hyperthreading(thats why lilypond takes out 
only 50% max as seen in the screenshot), 512MB ram, winxp pro, cgywin, lilypond 
2.4.2

oh ya. i was trying to lilypond a file using the nwc2ly converter im developing 
and. tried to convert that beethoven 7th symphony movement 1. 

doesnt look that huge, 451bars, 17 staffs. 0 errors. but 51 Warning messages 
related to failed bar checks. maybe thats the problem.

but how much memory does lilypond takes even for a huge piece?
