Have a look at the FAQ: http://xml.apache.org/fop/faq.html#faq-N1011A
This will answer most of your questions.

Hi, I have a fop servlet that is generating reports on demand from a
client program. I'm using tomcat as servlet container, xml and xsl to
generate fo and fop to give me pdf. The reports tend to be big and
memory is being exhausted.
The tomcat process never releases any memory and the usage is increasing
linearly. This makes sense when I use page/total-pages since I then need
to hold all pages till I reach the last one, however, is there a way to
explicitly say that no counting is to be done so that fop releases
memory as it generates pdf?
Look at the FAQ which will tell you what options you have. You may also
want to search the mailing list archives.
The second question is how to make tomcat release memory when a servlet
is finished? - But that is probably a different list...
Tomcat doesn't have to release anything in this context when a servlet
is finished, I think. It's more a question of how the VM handles memory
and how it reclaims it (Garbage collection). If you generate the same
report a few times on after another you shouldn't see a steady increase
of memory usage. It will go up in the beginning but roughly stabilize
after a moment. If it doesn't there maybe something wrong with your
servlet.
