When given, attic does not use the "files" cache. Saves about 240B RAM per file (that sounds only a little, but consider that backups nowadays are often millions of files). So try this if attic eats more memory than you have as RAM (usually means paging or MemoryErrors). Of course, saving memory is not for free. In my one experiment, run time increased from 3.5 to 23 minutes (my system has enough RAM).
