Memory settings have been discussed on oooforum.org and on the new community forum. A search should turn up suggested settings; I have seen it mentioned several times. I think you may have to experiment. This is one post on the new forum: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=32090#p146893
Two things seem clear. First, reduce the number of undo steps (the default, I recall, is 100) to, say 21. Secondly, increase the size of the graphics cache to, say, 128 MB. Open Office does seem to be a memory hog; it certainly places a strain at times on my system and Andrew Pitonyak has mentioned that the odt version of his macro document causes OO to crash. I have seen reference to "memory leaking" but don't know what that means.
