You could go a bit further by doing the string -> list of ints part
piecemeal. The memory usage of 1000 digits is 1000 + epsilon bytes,
but a list of 1000 ints is something like 24000+ bytes.

The only (known) way to get the mth to nth decimal place is to compute
the whole thing to the nth decimal place, as a decimal number, then
ignore everything up to the mth.
