As far as I remember, there is no such hard-coded number, it's a 
combination of several ivars, Divisions, NumberOfPointsPerBucket, 
Automatic, etc. Check BuildLocator(), you should be able to lower the 
number size of this list by tweaking those values.

Sounds a bit inefficient, maybe you need to create your own actor/mapper 
class given the number of objects you want to create, and minimize your 
memory consumption within this class (i.e. avoiding the creation of tons of 
mini-pipelines).
