Need the ability to create reports using ELM for Git commit data.

Please investigate using less JVM heap than 10-20 times report size in future versions of Aspose API

This is useful in general, as larger reports do not suddenly fail due to requiring unexpected magnitudes of JVM heap. It would make the generation of MS Word and PDF reports much more manageable. This is especially useful for customers who have ED...
