Nope. Your system has 36 GiB. After loading the 29m reads, MIRA already used 32 
GiB, 1 GiB was used by the OS and 3 GiB were free.

Your machine has a bad set-up: only 4 GiB swap for 36 GiB RAM is not ideal. I'd 
go for a 1:1 setup there. Furthermore, you are operating at the limit of your 
machine there: miramem will tell you that you need around 36 to 40 GiB RAM for 
that project as minimum. Well, looks like you need a bit more than you 
currently have as RAM + swap.

Tip: try mapping 20m reads to see whether you like what MIRA is producing with 
your data.
