Mashiah, you are not being reasonable. Your "work" is to get the
analysis done. River's work is to make sure that *everyone* accessing
the toolserver can use it decently. Even if it means reducing what each
one can individually do. That's what time-sharing is about.

You also have several options, like running the analysis on a dedicated
machine you own, or donating WM-DE compatible memory modules to upgrade
cassia adding it 4GB.

Why do you need eg. the initial phase of copying the links from language
database into memory tables (page links, category links, template links,
zero namespace pages, category pages, template pages) ?
