If you're already using ParallelMesh then your next big memory hog is
probably the sparse matrix, which suggests one drastic option: switch
to a Jacobian-free solve.  IIRC we've got support for PETSc "shell
matrix" interfaces, so you can implement a Jacobian-vector-product
function instead of allocating a matrix.
