 * I have encountered that issue before. I did some researching on it and most likely
   your hosting provider has a 32MB PHP memory limit.
 * I was going to move my memory limit to 64MB or more, but I was going to need 
   to ‘update’ my hosting, not pay, but my site would have to be down while they
   changed things etc. I didn’t want that so I worked around it.
 * Look for plugins that have a small memory footprint, I used Hyper Cache instead
   of W3 Total Cache, as it uses a lot less memory and still improves performance
   of the site overall.
