I would try fewer files first. I am not entirely sure I understand what a "sequence of images" is, I thought I did based on your description, but the docs almost make it sound like they are on top of each other, which doesn't make much sense as a montage. You might also try presetting the dimensions of the final image, that would prevent ImageMagick from having to recalculate it, though not sure why this would matter. If you find that the number of images is causing a problem you might try montaging them in sets, then montaging the sets together, this won't change your final image, and will increase the size of the images, but will reduce the number of tiles in one image.
