Does it really have that much impact ?
Can you tell me how much memory both runs consume ?
(It's often hard to tell true virtual memory consumption
but real RAM consumption is quite a realistic indicator.)
Do you have lots of hard links in your snapshots ?
(It's only about inodes shared inside the directory
trees which you map into xorriso. It does not matter
whether there are other links pointing to those
inodes from outside those directories.)

The impact of -temp_mem_limit is restricted to higher
levels of xorriso, i fear. Things like pattern expansion
and file list sorting by block address.
If it works with setting 64k, then the memory consumption
is probably inside libisofs.

I was quite proud of that method when i developed it
for scdbackup a few years before i enterd the libburnia
adventure.
It has to deal with the counter-intuitive fact that
file timestamps do not change when the file gets
renamed or moved to a different directory. Imagine
two files swapping places.
(Then imagine my face when i learned about Samba's
inode dance.)
Have a nice day :)
