Dealing with large files that have a lot of images?

I am working on a document that has an auto-generated appendix that contains a large number of large images. There are about 420 images and I have compressed these images down to about 1 MB each. Trying to include all of the images gives me a “memory allocation failed” message. I have tried reducing the number of images to experiment and I have some success, depending on what images I cut out, I can compile a document with anywhere between 50 and 200 images included (The maximum number of images appears unrelated to file size).

Is there any method or trick I can use to deal with this issue? Would it be best to just incrementally compile the document and stitch it together after the fact?

Thanks!
