Bug Description

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/par2cmdline/+bug/535305

       The "-m" option controls how much memory par2 uses. It defaults to 16
       MB unless you override it.

The -m option comment does not explain that for large datasets, the more memory added the faster it may go.
