Description
This is mostly caused by ubiquitous and/or automatically set parameters (name, qname, etc.). In testing I have observed _one_ of these having 4.5~gb of reference information associated with it, which is not tenable. For certain devices, this will crash the analysis outright depending on the running environment.
However, optimizing this is non-trivial, currently the information stored is a vector of heap-references to mutex-d symbols. So I think optimization on the size of each element is unlikely, instead we simply must store fewer elements somehow.
A side-effect of solving this is that (depending on the solution) we will also see analysis speed-ups, as currently much of the time is spent on moving these _very_ large reference lists around.
