What could be wrongly allocating 4GB of memory? Figure that out and
you should have your answer. The slow down may be coming from having
to search through more and more objects in memory.

Memory consumption seem to be correlated to the depth of the delta
chain being accessed. It blows up tremendously right at the end. It
may even be a square of the length of the chain length. For the normal
default case the square didn't hurt, but 250*250 = 62,500 which would
eat a huge amount of memory.
