Solr needs memory allocation for different operations, not for the index size. It needs X amount of memory for a query, Y amount of memory for document found by a query, and other things. Sorting needs memory for the number of documents. Faceting needs memory for the number of unique values in a field. You just have to experiment with increasing the java heap until you stop getting OutOfMemory errors.
