I usually assign some 200 MB to Logic, and this has always worked for 
me.  The EXS takes what it needs from the memory left over.  So yes, 
I would try giving Logic less memory instead of more.

All programming and automation hardly take up space, so that 
shouldn't be a reason to assign lots of ram to Logic.  The only 
reason to increase the memory assignment, is when you have a 
memory-hungry plug-in that uses Logic's own memory space. 
Steinberg's LM-4 is such a plug-in: if it doesn't have enough memory 
it simply doesn't load all required samples -- which is a clear 
indicator that Logic should get more memory.
