Fyo, <the data set for an FFT in SETI is 128kB>
According to SETI technical papers, it is
actually 128k of data POINTS, which are most
likely at least single-precision 4-bytes floats.
Take it into account.

More, as I understand them, each work unit
contains about 2M points, or about 8MBytes
to work with. These data are also processed for
different doppler shifts which does not improve
the data locality either.

Take care,
