I tried this in CS6 on a Win7 x64 machine with 8GB RAM and a really naff GFX card.

Text used was 200000 characters to fill the entire page.....@1.5pt and 1778px, 38000 was just no where near enough.....only about 1/6 the page.

Even so, I had no trouble pasting a full page of text.

So.....may I suggest a different approach to your workflow?

Instead of conforming the text to a path you can fill the entire page with text and use the path to mask out what you do not want...

Assuming you have these layers: [in order]

FULL PAGE OF TEXT

WHITE BG

You would also have your 'path' visible.

With the 'text' layer selected use LAYER > VECTOR MASK > CURRENT PATH

Job done.

You can still edit the path if you need to tweak it.

You don't get quite the same effect as the words are literally 'masked' instead of conforming to the shape but with an image this small you are hardly going to notice.

I'll include the PSD file I used for testing....see if you can open it OK.
