Probably because Era's online tileset is a 24-bit PNG, not an 8-bit one like pics1. You could use Era's offline tileset (or, if it's no longer updated, create an 8-bit version of the online one) and should be able to use less memory. You likely won't notice the difference in quality at a reasonable scale anyway.
Reducing the scale (even to 1:2 or 1:4) should also significantly reduce the memory requirements. The number you're specifying (15000) is the maximum memory it's allowed to use before it crashes (or freezes). It may actually be using far less than that. I suspect watching the process in Task Manager would give you some insight.
