If you're working on one server only, I only see the possibility of serializing FOP calls and maybe limit the number of concurrent FOP calls. You can also try to optimize/simplify your layout. Bitmaps eat a lot of memory. Using JPEG instead of GIF may help. Using vector graphic formats instead of bitmaps where possible may help, too.
