Hi,

I know this was reported a while ago and I had this issue for few days
with 4 GB RAM on my workstation it was hard to do anything when bitbake
was parsing and today I've "resolved" it by removing cache.

first I've tried to remove
#PARALLEL_MAKE="-j3"
#BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "2"
from my local.conf and it didn't help I still had 6 bitbake processes
4 eating ~ 1GB ad 2 with ~ 512MB. So I've removed tmp/cache except
bb_persist_data.sqlite3:

OE om-gta02@shr ~/shr-core $ du -hs tmp/cache/*
35M     tmp/cache/bb_codeparser.dat
0       tmp/cache/bb_codeparser.dat.lock.13293
0       tmp/cache/bb_codeparser.dat.lock.13294
0       tmp/cache/bb_codeparser.dat.lock.13295
0       tmp/cache/bb_codeparser.dat.lock.15708
0       tmp/cache/bb_codeparser.dat.lock.16878
0       tmp/cache/bb_codeparser.dat.lock.16879
0       tmp/cache/bb_codeparser.dat.lock.16880
0       tmp/cache/bb_codeparser.dat.lock.25605
68K     tmp/cache/bb_persist_data.sqlite3
87M     tmp/cache/default-eglibc
OE om-gta02@shr ~/shr-core $ rm -rf tmp/cache/bb_codeparser.dat*

OE om-gta02@shr ~/shr-core $ du -hs tmp/cache/default-eglibc/*
13M     tmp/cache/default-eglibc/nokia900
13M     tmp/cache/default-eglibc/om-gta02
13M     tmp/cache/default-eglibc/palmpre
13M     tmp/cache/default-eglibc/qemuarm
13M     tmp/cache/default-eglibc/qemux86
13M     tmp/cache/default-eglibc/qemux86-64
13M     tmp/cache/default-eglibc/spitz
OE om-gta02@shr ~/shr-core $ rm -rf tmp/cache/default-eglibc/

and now it's sane again and memory used is < 2GB.

Regards,
