That's true. In general, one should use TamiFlex when analyzing the
DaCapo suite. That should take care of this.

Karthik, analyzing large programs up to several hundreds of thousands
of lines of code should certainly work given a few gigabytes of
memory. If it does not, this probably means that you programmed a
particularly memory-hungry or inefficient analysis. Getting analyses
to scale to such programs is not a simple task and often requires very
careful fine-tuning.
