Did you disable the caching option in the tyflow object? If you disable this it will have to update all the calculations per frame and is very slow. If this is enabled it will save all those calculations in the ram and will enable real time scrubbing and playback of your scene. It can fill up a lot of ram if you have a ton of particles though, i can easily fill 64gb ram with a few million.
If you have a sequence that you want to save with the PRT/tyflow cache operator, but it has more particles than your ram can handle, you can disable the cache in the main tyflow object settings. It will have to recalculate every frame (before it saves the cache on HDD) however it will allow you to scale things up higher than you normally could. This is very useful when you are partitioning caches for a large simulation such as a krakatoa render. (tens or hundreds of millions of particles)
