I've got one win10 computer that runs pdox like a champ.  Hardly ever 
has memory issues.  It was the same way when it was running win7.  It 
only has 8GB or RAM.  It does have dual processors. BDE settings are 
typical.
Compared to my system that used to run pdox great before I had to 
rebuild it.  It has 24GB, dual processors and I'm using Jan's memory 
manager (which does help btw).

The only difference I just noticed is that on the one that works, you 
don't have to give elevated access to run the BDE.  Not sure how or why 
that happened.  It's installed in theory like all the rests using the 
handy installer floating around.
