I just made a 2 line mod that changed this behavior. The problem here
is that the query was fetched all at once and it took 2G of memory to
do this. It then took an additional 650M to build the memory tree. By
changing bacula to retrieve the result row at a time instead of all at
once, it took only 650M and 5 less minutes (no swapping) to build the
tree.

As soon as I put together a patch, I will post it to the developers list
and see if it can get incorporated into the official source.
