php_limit in php.ini

Hello everybody.

I wanted to install an CMS on my webspace (I actually own a reseller-account), but I received error codes from important scripts of the cms.

The reason for that is the memory_limit which is an configuration in the php.ini file of the webserver. It has actually the size of 8 MB, but the CMS need 16 or better 32 MB.

I asked my Provider to change that configuration. They answered that this change in the php.ini will cause a worser perfomance on the webserver for all of their clients.

So here is my question:
Whats the advantage / disadvantage of setting up the memory limit from 8 mb to 16 (32) MB? What can I do against worser perfomance?

Thanks in advantage.
