Are you using the file output option when generating the tree and including
the file 8 times, or are you calling the macro directly 8 times with identical
parameters? I would expect the latter to consume more memory than the former,
as well as being slower to parse. The arrays and the recursion would eat up
a considerable amount of memory above and beyond the actual objects used in the
trees.
