What about make it multithreading?? Will be awesome and to have some ram limit. It's kind of kidnap all of the PC memory and make it hang till voxeliazation process is over.

it's not that easy. we have developed our own voxelization algorithm that's difficult to parallelize.

It's the last critical bottle neck of Octane's powerful speed.
I think, you can do it .. ;)
