Ok, how about this. Take it a little further. When it's time to render, go to the Display panel and in the Hide by Category rollout, select everything but Geometry. This hides all the lights, shapes, cameras extra that all consume RAM. Then select all the geometry and enable 'Display as Box'. Save then reload and you can see another few hundred MBs less RAM consumed.
