May I ask why you are using numpy when you are dealing with strings? If you
provide a few details about what you are trying to achieve someone may be
able to suggest a workable approach.
Back-of-the-envelope considerations: 4GB / 5E6 cells amounts to
>>> 2**32 / (100000 * 50)
858.9934592
about 850 bytes per cell, with an overhead of
>>> sys.getsizeof("")
49
that would be 800 ascii chars, down to 200 chars in the worst case. If your
strings are much smaller the problem lies elsewhere.
