Personally  I haven't noticed any qualitative difference in memory 
consumption compared with vmd when viewing same .xtc files. It either 
works or it does not. But my simulations are different (~5-10k atoms 
without solvent and tens of ns on 32G RAM system).
IIRC, there were some options in pymol for processing trajectories. 
Maybe they do influence the performance.
