Hey @jerome-f !

Sorry for the huge latency, I missed this post.

I think you’re probably facing the same issue as here: [How do I increase the memory or RAM available to the JVM when I start Hail through Python? - #2 by danking](https://discuss.hail.is/t/how-do-i-increase-the-memory-or-ram-available-to-the-jvm-when-i-start-hail-through-python/133/2) . In short, the JVM by default doesn’t scoop up all your available RAM for the driver.
