hi cyril,

open_cursors determines the maximum # of open cursors
u can have in ur shared sql area / libray cache of the
shared pool. assumimg that u previously had this set
to 500. Now when u set it to 1000, obviously oracle
needs more memory to handle additional open cursors.. 

the risks of ur application failing with an out of
open_cursors errors far outweigh the memory
requirements to maintain these .. and these days when
memory is cheap .. it should not impact memory .. i
mean its not that this will suck off all available
memory
