No, HG_CLEAN_MEMORY is not useful to use less memory. It is only useful if you recycle memory, and you get false positive race errors due to this recycling.
The best way to understand where valgrind/helgrind spends memory is to use --stats=yes and post the result here. Really, it is really the best way :). If it takes too long to reach the end (or it crashes before producing the stats), you can from the command line use vgdb v.info stats to get the needed info while helgrind is running.
