Peak memory consumption during epoching reduced by more than 50%!
And we're also faster now!

How this was achieved
config.conditions
. Inmain
, we create epochs from ALL events, often creating uselessly huge numbers of epochs, increasing memory footprint and massively slowing down ICA decomposition.Further ideas
We may be able to further reduce peak memory consumption at the cost of I/O and processing speed.
