Well, you can always do condenseChanges to buy yourself a lot of time. 
You don't really have 33MB of code, do you?  :)  Maybe I should be doing
type inference trial runs on your image, to really get some impressive
stats!  :)

Anyway, I'm guessing that the limit is a real pain to increase.  For
example, maybe the source pointer in methods is running out of bits. 
Otherwise, why have a limit at all?
