The only change I made was that I started using a 9pt modern font than a 10
pt modern font.
My document decreased from 580+ pages to 500 pages after that.
About your document, I assume you had a lot of Graphics because text only
180MB is too high.
I have only few diagrams and my file size is only 3MB.

Thanks for new upload. I see that memory consumption is much less than previous version. So once again, thanks a lot.
I am curious about what has changed in recent upload, that memory consumption is about 60% of earlier versions. it's hard to tell what exact consumpiton is becaue for instance when lua creates tables, they grow by factors two when then have to (maybe 5.5 is a bit less consuming)
on the one hand luametatex is more efficient than luatex due to all kind of ímprovements' but some nodes are larger so that takes more memory, which is only noticed when one has lots of text on a page (or keeps boxes stuff around)
anyway, not that much changed since the previous upload, so maybe you just stay below a threshold
I recently generated a 180MB document with 2500 fonts + metapost outlines of them and that could bump mem usage (with empty cache) to 30 GB (less after fonts were cached) but normally we stay around 125 MB for a document. Anyway, tex mem consumption can often be neglected compared to other applications.
