Unbelievably high memory usage

I often get "out of memory" error when compiling in QuartusII 9.1 SP2. It reports the memory usage is 837MB ... :-s Why does Quartus consume so much of memory? is it normal?

Its quite normal, especially for larger devices.

The minimum requirement for larger arria 2s is 3GB!

There are often many nets to maintain and route.
