If you're using tomcat you can set the the size threshold at which the file will be written to the disk to a sensible value for your machine.

e.g. if the servlet is in web.xml

  Upload Servlet
  YourServletName

  
   
   10485760
   
   10240
   
   524288
 

or using annotations:

@MultipartConfig(
    maxFileSize=10485760,     // 10Mb max
    fileSizeThreshold=524288, //512 Kb before buffering to disk
    maxRequestSize=10240      // 10Kb of meta data
    location=/tmp             // with permission to write, default uses tomcat tmp
)

With reference to HttpRequest maximum allowable size in tomcat?
