If you try to open very large OSM maps, your computer might run out of RAM due to merkaartor eating all of it to open the file, it also eats a lot of CPU in these cases. Instead Merkaartor should handle such cases sanely, for example by stopping to load the file or displaying only a smallish part of it.
