Hi Michael,
I had the same issue a few months ago. In my experience 4GB was sufficient.
If there are constraints on the memory, I think 3 GB should also work.
I also had the same issue with -gcut and FS 5.0. Back then I had tried to
figure out what was
the minimum memory required since I had some memory constraints. I was
running jobs on cluster where each node had 16 cores and 32 GB total memory
(that could be divided between the 16 cores). At most I was able to run 12
recons on each node.
So the minimum memory required was ~ 2.7 GB (32 GB/12).
