You don't want to use -qu. It's there for testing, to prove
that it isn't needed, nothing else.

Let me repeat this:

The "u" in -qu stands for:

    "unbelievably ultra slow"
    "untested and unverified"
    "uselessly excessive"

keep backing off -q until it clears the memory issue, for some of
these files -gm and others -gh. Here are contents of file I cannot
process better then -qm. Command I'm using is colprof -qX
RGB-210-patch and I get

colprof: Warning - Reverse Cell Cache exausted, processing in chunks
colprof: Error - Not enough memory to process in chunks

Hmm. What platform are you on ? I can't reproduce this problem
on my Win2K system (1Gig memory, 3.2Ghz processor) or my MacBook
(1Gig memory, 2GHz processor), the former taking about
2 minutes 9 seconds, the latter 1 minutes 19 seconds.

Are you sure you're using V1.0.1, since the memory management
has changed from previous versions.

In fact, because it's an RGB profile, there are rarely such problems,
it is the CMYK profiles that chew up a lot more memory and processing
time, due to the device color aliasing of black.
