If you have installed the recipe ExpireDiff :
   http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/ExpireDiff

Otherwise, you can set a variable in config.php:
  $DiffKeepDays = 30;

in order to keep the page history 30 days only, instead of 10 years, as it is 
by default. See:
  http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/EditVariables#DiffKeepDays
  http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PageHistory

However, there may be another recipe eating too much memory, for example 
ThumbList on too big pictures >1600x1200 pixels.

Thanks,
