i dunno what you mean with supremacy, but pdftex is just tex, with an 
extra backend; so, if you run into memory problems, all tex's in web2c 
will suffer from it, unless the memory settings in texmf.cnf are different.

(if you run pdfetex, it may also be that you have more registers but i 
guess that that's not your problem)
