I don't think it would be easy to isolate the generation requirements
from the rendering requirements. A lot of it would depend on how
effecient your generation code is. You may consider dumping the
generated mesh code to a file with the #write command and then parse
the generated file. Should save on a good portion of the memory
requirements this way.
