First, get the latest PyLucene 2.3.2 with JCC 1.9 (source tarball from http://pylucene.osafoundation.org 
).

Then, consider increasing the Java VM's memory limits (see README and  
the parameters to initVM()), 140 Mb for a long indexing session is  
rather small. It might be good to ask on java-user at lucene.apache.org  
about memory use patterns as well.
