Which SiteError do you get?

Everything you change in one transaction must live inside
RAM (and swap space). Although, 256MB should be enough to create
13 k DTML documents, maybe something strange causes excessive
memory consumption.

You could try to use subtransactions (see OFS.Image.File, for an example)
or commit your transaction after every x documents:

   t= get_transaction()
   t.commit(); t.begin()

You need an external method (or other code unhindered by Zope's security
subsystem).
