Hi Chris, I do not have a stats but I think the performance is reasonable. I use xpdf for PDF & wvWare for DOC. The size of my index is ~2GB (this is not limited to only pdf & doc). For avoiding memory problems, I have set an upperbound to the size of the documents that can be indexed. For example in my case I do not index documents if the size is more that 4MB. You could try something like that.
