I am not sure that this is a problem per se.

I am not familiar with the virtual memory model of Windows, but if
it is anything like that of Unix, and it probably is, then it would
not cause a problem because memory pages that are not use until they
are written to, so it should not burden the memory.

I have previously solved a the same performance problem in a different
context, by going from linear to exponential buffer enlargements as
Steve has suggested. That did not result in any lack of memory problems.
