EN+ PIM running out of memory

Recently I have been having regular problems with the EndNote+ PIM "running
out of memory". Following the advice in the manual, I have increased WORD's
memory allocation to 3.5meg (!) and it is still happening. I have several
moderately large documents (each ~40k inc embedded references) open at a
time, but I should have thought the above memory size could cope easily. I
previously wondered whether the crashes were due to consulting a very large
database (~30Meg), but I hadn't even opened it before the last crash. How
can I stabilise my machine?

I am running WORD v5.1a, EN+ PIM v1.0 on a 20Meg RAM Mac IIfx with system
7.1, , 32-bit addressing, and a limited number of mundane extensions.

PS. Am I unusual in disliking the PIM for actually referencing manuscripts?
It is fine as a database (though so is the DA), but working with referenced
manuscripts is a pain. They are doubled in size over equivalent files
referenced using EN+ non-PIM, cut-and-paste slowly, scroll slowly, and are
less portable. What are the compelling advantages of the PIM?
