If you don't want to edit the file, you could just set the
environment variable with the same name. I think we used to
have such a setting in lilypond-profile in some old versions
of Lily.

I have not experienced any scores where I had to increase the
TeX memory to be able to compile. However, since this problem
has been reported by several others, we should definitely judge
it as a serious problem. I would expect it to cause more traffic
on the mailing list, than the problems with hyphens and point and
click that were the reason to switch back to TeX.
