Large lmrZ-mpi-run memory usage #162

Description

Hi,

My lmr simulations seem to take too much memory to run.

SLURM's seff command reports that a steady simulation with 14.2 M cells, ideal gas model, and SA turbulence model used about 1950 GB.

The same but unsteady simulation with "euler" gasdynamic update scheme used about 1860 GB of memory.

In contrast, a steady SU2 simulation with 80 M cells, ideal gas model, and SA turbulence model used about 830 GB.

Why is there such a huge difference in the required memory between Eilmer and SU2? Why did the Eilmer unsteady sim take so much memory if it had to store variables only at 2 time steps? I am wondering if there is something I can change in the attached lua file to significantly reduce the memory usage.
