I would suggest - if you haven't already done it - increasing the COFVLFxx MAXVIRT from (the default) 4096 (16MB) to 32768 (128MB) assuming memory allows you to. And then perhaps to try 64MB or 256MB. I'd also have a little think about which load libraries to use it with. (You've probably done that last bit already.) :-)
