You seem to have used one of the --complete-something options. These are 
  real performance killers because they have to cache the full planet in 
a temp file. Don't use them unless you really have to.

If the extract you are making is relatively small, then it can make 
sense to first do an extract with --clip-incomplete-entities for 
something that is slightly larger than the bit you want, and then make 
an excerpt *from that* with the --complete option.

175 GB is enough because the temp files are gzipped. But it uses /tmp 
unless you

export JAVACMD_OPTIONS="-Djava.io.tmpdir=/my/pretty/little/tempdir"

before you run it.
