Gimp for windows basic config question

I am trying to combine several very large (4+ MB) files using the gimp. Decompressed, these files are pushing 100 MB. I have 300+ MB of free memory but the gimp won't even use half of it. It insists on using it's swap space instead.

I am trying to combine several very large (4+ MB) files using the gimp. Decompressed, these files are pushing 100 MB. I have 300+ MB of free memory but the gimp won't even use half of it. It insists on using it's swap space instead. So it's taking minutes just to move one layer to try to line it up on another layer. Can I specify the maximum amount of memory to use?
 
There are two settings (Maximum Image Size and tile size) but I'm not sure what these are refering to. Are these what I am looking for?
