I'm not saying that it's not weird you can't get 32GB. I agree that's a problem.
I just don't understand why these things have to take up so much memory. Why does it need to be all in-memory? How slow would it really be if you put some of that on disk?
At the risk of sounding like a very grumpy old man: I still remember being able to build code with VC++6 and less than 1G of RAM, with a full desktop running. Nowadays it's like I cannot even compile a project with less than 8G of RAM in a terminal without risking a kernel freeze. What happened?

Meh.
