There isn't much that can be done about this I'm afraid, unfortunately JsDoc 
Toolkit needs to keep the entire 
parse object in memory at once due to the fact that you may be modifying the 
documentation for an object 
defined in file 1 somewhere in file 99.

The only thing I could suggest is to break the "very large set of JS files" up 
into a few smaller libraries, and 
document each of them separately, then create an HTML index linking to each one.
