Re: converting multiple files with Jade...

I don't know of any memory-related bugs, but Jade does build the grove in
memory so if you process a huge document, it'll take a lot of memory.

In your case, do these thousands of files have to be processed together,
or could they be converted one at a time (or in small groups)?
