It looks like the GC needs a little manual tuning for your app.
For a 600 MB file on a dual core with 2 threads running a good
default seems to be setting an initial heap size of 10 MB:
	GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=10000000 mono yourprog.exe
With 4 threads (which is sort of equivalent to 8 threads on a 4 cpu
hyperthreaded box) you need about 20 MB, but try also with more
and measure what's best for your workload (and please report back your
results).
