Memory problems with MosaikAligner 1.0.1307 (removed -km and -pm)

[Magnus]

Hi

There was an option in "old" MosaikAligner to load the keys-file, and/or positions-file into the memory by using "-km" and "-pm" from a reference jump database. I was never able to load both into memory due to lack of sufficient RAM, (loaded just the keys-file). This features are now removed in "new" MosaikAligner, and I am not able to aligne with my new jump-database.

Are there any tricks besides upgrading the hardware to get around this problem?
