I realize 79 MB is not a lot by today's standards, but when default settings for PHP are typically 8 or 16 MB, 79 is way beyond the typical configuration of a PHP/MySQL/Apache server.
Testing patch applicability and generation list of files could take several minutes, please be patient. COPYRIGHT ...

It's actually surprising to see that much memory being used. The patch file isn't forcing 79mb, it's actually forcing 16mb (which annoys me as it doesn't check to see if a higher limit was already specified before forcing it's 16mb limit). So the 79mb is likely occurring just due to the number of patch files itself, and possibly there is some bug that is forcing memory to go too high on your installation.
