I'm using sage from the command line (or more precisely through emacs sagemode).
Let me ask the opposite question: How can I allocate *more* memory to the sage process. Sometimes extensive calculations break of with an "out of memory" message. (Or is this more an issue of my OS?) As a footnote: I can not find any documentation on "ulimit" on the command line. Does this only apply to the notebook?
