I see... it's possible that GAMG (algebraic multigrid preconditioner built
into PETSc) might have less memory overhead than BoomerAMG.  I'm not sure
exactly what is involved with converting the internal PETSc matrix format
to something that BoomerAMG can use.

On the other hand, I don't have much experience with GAMG either so it
might not be suitable for your problem without the proper command line args.
