There is some extra overhead in memory. But not 3x. At least, not unless you are doing a big transaction or vacuuming the database or something like that. I'm running experiments now. My memory usage is about (1.15*disk + 66184). In other words, I'm seeing the in-memory database use about 15% more space than the on-disk database. I'm not sure what you are doing to get 3x memory usage. D.
