This is not a help request or bug report. Just something I found amusing I'd like to share. I knew what I was doing was probably a bad idea. Did it anyway
I would however be open to suggestions on achieving a similar end result with less resource consumption.So I have a job designing a blind enclosure, like a Pelmet. The blind is the roll up kind. I wanted to model the rolled up blind so I could send client some pretty screenshots.

I have a version of the file attached. I haven't actually done the sweep operation in this version. Because the file is 1.2mb and over the forum limit. Also I wouldn't want someone with 8gb ram to try and open it
So attached file is safe to open on any system. Proceed with sweep operation at own risk Anyway if you want to see how much ram you can use. I'd suggest modifying constraint 11 in sketch001 before starting a sweep on the spiral shape binder. A small number like 5-10mm is probably sensible to start with.
Anyway I made the cloth roll smaller, only 100mm wide, and it only used 30ish gb of ram
Now I have made it 150mm and am writing this post while I wait for recompute to finish. Here is a screenshot from htop

Final thoughts.... I wonder what happens if I try to fillet a skinny face on the blind roll?
