No: the memory requirements are independent of frms. It is just that NR
minimization (as coded here) requires a good starting point.

PB is generally preferred for "snapshot" analysis. The recommendation
for NAB is only for the normal mode calculations -- other parts of the
calcualations can use other programs.

The above is what I recommend. No matter what you do, the entropy part
will be dicey.
