There is a clear note in the following link for the system requirements :

The CPU, RAM, and disk space recommendations above are minimum requirements, the actual requirements are determined by your configuration and by the volume and uniqueness of NetFlow data that is received. Actual resource usage can vary greatly depending on these factors.

You can have a look into "Tuning Memory Usage" chapter of the manual at :
