the paragraph layout is not as perfect as with TeX or other layout systems (regarding whitespace distribution in justified text) but it is definetly readable (about as good as what Word does IMHO)

If you mean the empty lines in the grey boxes before and after the real text:

no, i was refering to the ammount of whitespace between words in general paragraphs, the whitespace is not as equaly distributed as it could be looks like FOP is following a simple "per line" approach here instead of the more sophisticated "per paragraph" algorithms used by TeX and other 'real' typesetting systems ...

You're unfortunately right with the justification, but FOP is young project ;). But no kidding: I've just enabled hyphenating for the "printed" links and left-aligned part- and chapter-titles, which solves the most cases. Just for a comparison for THIS CASE (There's still much to do, but my flat is still a construction-site which wants to managed beside the job): I've putted an example at http://www.t0.or.at/~sunny/php/php_manual_en_2.pdf.zip BTW, with FOP 0.20.5rc3 (will be released in a view days) the "memory-hunger" decreased to less than 768MB.
