Iron4nchen, Have you tried the bigFileThreshold config value which affects how the pack / delta compression works (by ignoring such big files thus relieving memory pressure), plus a bit of googling may help.
I think there are other similar config values related to the rest of the packing which will also affect memory pressure.
