Thanks, Martin.

Well, it is quite a bit of data (I didn't look too deeply), 50.000 records of structured/nested data with quite a lot of strings. If each record is 1Kb, that makes 50Mb.
How do you measure your memory consumption ? What did you expect ?
Right now, your JSON is parsed and the result is a combination of lists (Array) and maps (Dictionary). If you know/understand well what is inside it, and it is regular enough, you could try to build your own specialised/optimised data/domain model for it. NeoJSON can also parse directly to your objects, instead of the general ones (a process called mapping). This is some work, of course, and it might not be worth it, YMMV.
