Ran into some fun stuff while looking into your memory issue:

Snippet from Solution ID: #sk22343:

As of SecurePlatform NGX R62:

* On AMD, SecurePlatform supports up to 4 GB RAM.

* On Intel, SecurePlatform supports up to 64 GB RAM.
As to why you'd want 64GB of RAM I can think of a few. Ram usage tied to queued messages [which I've seen in R65]:

Snippet from Solution ID: #sk30794
Error:
Console or /var/messages displays VPN-1/FireWall-1 kernel error message, "FW-1: log message queue is full".

Question 1:
What are the upper bounds of these VPN-1/FireWall-1 kernel log parameters?

Answer 1:
In general, there is no upper bound to these parameters. The upper limit is the device's memory. Choose the bound carefully.
However, my favorite reason would be to use ramdisks to speed policy pushes!
