puzzle 2460 uses 4.3 Gb RAM just being idle, 8+ Gb when running

When loading multiple 'adjacent' copies of puzzle 2460 simultaneously, the new clients crash while loading the puzzle. I suspect there is a timeout due to networking overload on the server side which is not handled gracefully by the client. No previous client exhibited this behaviour. There is plenty of RAM in the machine (96 Gb), I was loading 12 copies, a standard procedure.
