I don't have a specific answer to your specific question (I don't know the
answer)
But as a general tip to see how certain applications max out your
resources I suggest to run 'top' in another terminal. It also shows your
swap usage; if you are interested in other output parameters the man pages
will tell you.
To see how performance scales with file size I'd duplicate(or reduce) the
text size and see if there is a non-linear behavior, and how far you are
away from any unacceptable bottle neck (if there is such).
Doing a google on
Open Office Writer large .pdf files
Open Office Writer .pdf memory limitation
Didn't show anything obvious on the 1st page of hits.
(I was hoping to see if there is some OO config stuff you could tweak)
Maybe interesting:

Open Office Writer : what is the max number of Pages and Graphic load?
I run with 1.5 Gig Ram on a G-4, using latest Mac OS X, with latest rev of
Neo Open Office on board.
I have written a novel that is 619 pages, (150 thousand words), including 2
graphics in TIFF adding up to 2 megs each.
Have I reached or passed a "safe" file size limit?
I have had a "save to PDF" lock up, so I'm leary. But my creation of an
index, table of contents and such argues for 1 book = 1 file.
Please advise.
