I dunno, once you get into heavy disk swapping, performance goes in the toilet and any number of things can go wrong. Were you getting an actual "out of memory" error message?
Maybe you really were legitimately running out of memory. Like I said, I know very little about what MAME does under the hood. I was just saying that "out of memory" more often than not is indicative of some other problem in an app, rather than it legitimately running out of memory.
