The memory requirements depend on the complexity of the
layout (tables spanning multiple pages are bad), how big
included graphics are (they are all held in memory), and,
often the worst of all, whether you are using forward
references, like the popular "page x of y" (which forces
all pages and dependent data to be held in memory until
rendering is finished).

I've been able to render 500 Page books without problems.
