I do not have the answer for the memory limit for you but this defines 
where it is happening so we can look into it.

The IDV does not have a way to color-fill grid cells by value but that
seems like something that could be possible. Radar scientists often do
the same thing: they want to know the exact observational value at each
point.
I will add this to new features to be considered. After we get the next 
release out in two weeks I will see if we can do this.
