That depends on how much heap your JVM has. At minimum, your heap
needs to accommodate NxM objects where
N is the number of cells in a row and M is the number of rows kept in
memory (window size you pass  in the constructor).

A few thousands cells take quite a bit of memory and if heap is
limited then yes, constructing SXSSFWorkbook with windowSize=1 will
make sense.
