Big TeX's increase among other the main memory, and that's not
really what you need. The thing to look for is the parameter
called `trie-size' (maybe without the hyphen), which controls the
size of the tables used for hyphenation patterns. That one can be
increased even for versions of TeX that have to run in a measly 1M.
It is somewhere in the tex.ch and initex.ch file. Just alter that.
