I paged through the archives and couldn't find it.

But I did do a lot of experimenting.  The texts are indeed kept in RAM, it
looks to me.  If one pickled the PluckerDocs instances as one produced
them, and then unpickled them only when they were written, it would save a
lot of memory, if it could be done.  (Ideally, one would switch to a mode
that does this when free RAM got scarce.)  This seems to be the thing to
do if one wants to fix the RAM problem.
