This may be intended and particular with my system - but I observed this behavior and thought I should report. I am loading 3 rasters which I created via the 'Terrain' process in MapBox docs/guides. The rasters total approximately 5GB together as I live in a large County. With Task Manager running, I see 3 Node processing going as TileMill is first started. When I select the 'huge' project, I see one of the Node processes climb until it reaches almost 2 million K - then it crashes and TileMill does not render project. This same project renders on my OS X lappy - - I wouldn't be surprised if this was just a memory issue.
