The increase in memory consumption doesn't impact runtime positively or
negatively, unless of course your system doesn't have enough physical
memory to accommodate the increase. NONMEM's memory footprint is
directly related to the buffer values in the SIZES file, as you increase
the values the memory footprint increases to accommodate.
In the end processor speed is really the only thing that positively or
negatively effects NONMEM runtime.

Dear All,
I noticed that the Nonmem installed with NMQUAL "big nm6" defaults
instead of the standard ones results in approximately 10-times increase
in the memory required to run Nonmem (on my recent problem, from 12 MB
to 140 MB). I am wondering whether anybody checked how this influences
the run time. Is it better (in terms of the run time) to use standard
sizes, or "big" is OK if you have enough RAM?
Thanks!
Leonid
