I would wait for the 1.1.0 release we're hoping to do this month as it includes a number of memory-conserving improvements. Or ... since you're obviously comfortable building the system, just grab the current code from the SVN repository.
As for 0.7.4 vs 1.0.x, we've made a *lot* of improvements. The *only* complaint from users of older versions of which I'm aware involves the fact that we now recognize character spacing, so those who expected certain calls to give them chunks of text instead of individual characters are not happy. If you're not relying on that older way of doing it, you should be much happier w/ the new version.
