If high memory usage is your problem, I think it is mainly caused by the LGEO
library as an OpenGL mesh export only (as done by my LDCad) uses just 32MB (yes
mega not giga) during rendering in POV-Ray on my system.

This using your datsville scene (rev528, datsville_master/datsville.ldr)

But I have seen it use over 20GB in the past when doing a LGEO based export
through LDView's export).
