NO! Phil
When a program is writing that allows the user to specify the amount of memory to allocate to the program it goes out and gets that memory so no matter what other program comes along that memory is already accounted for.
The more memory you give to Namazu the faster it supposes to index your files, and I'm indexing over 100,000 files. 26 hours later Namazu indexes all the files, but it's should take that long on a robust $100,000 UNIX machine with 2 gigs of memory allocated to Namazu alone. When I first ran Namazu I was getting an out of memory error until I figured out how to fix that, so yes, in this case Namazu needs that much memory. One of the tips for faster indexing (http://www.namazu.org/doc/tips.html.en#indexing) with Namazu is to give the program more memory if your machine has memory to spare, well this machine does.
Thanks for your help,
Leon

Maybe, namazu does not require that much memory? You have set an upper
limit, not a lower limit. If namazu needs 1MB, it will use 1MB even if
it has 2GB available. Isn't that standard with any computer program?
