I guess the problems aren't in the slow line-breaking: the
line-breaking process is linear in the length of the piece. The
memory requirements are much more of a limitation: as soon as the
piece gets big, Lilypond will start swapping like crazy. (And I think
that the space usage is is superlinear in the length of the piece, due
to the mechanics of the "breaking elements" step)

Stripping doesn't help, pages with symbol information aren't used when
running (so they're not even paged in when Lilypond is started)
