Something else I probably should have mentioned. Enabling the disk cache does NOT reduce the memory required to perform the split, though it does make multiple passes during the second stage much quicker, and the more passes that are used (via smaller --max-areas values) the less memory required during that stage. I'm still looking into the best way to reduce the memory required during the first (area subdivision) stage, since this is the one thing still preventing people from splitting the planet on a 32 bit VM.
