You've got more than 45GB of physical RAM in your machine? I assume it's
actually virtual memory you're seeing, which is not a problem, even on Windows.
It's not uncommon for resident memory to be higher than the allocated heap
space and it's normal to have a high virtual memory address space if you have a
large index.
