I don't know if it will help your memory issue, but it seems your -ar
value of 10000 is much higher than should be required. I find that
extreme values for 'ar' are only required when the total scene size is
much larger than the zone you're interested in. An example would be a
daylighting model for a single small room in a building that also
includes large external geometry many times larger than the room itself.
 
Try -ar 200 and -ar 600. You may be surprised that high values don't
impact your results that much, but would have a strong impact on the
quality of rendered images.
