I’ve disabled just about every plugin I can on the site except what I really need. I can load any other page on the site with no problems, but loading forum pages always spikes the server memory. And I’ve discovered that the reason I can’t allocate PHP memory even though I’m under the PHP limit is the server is running out of memory completely.

Each pageload of a bbPress page on my server is consuming a good 300-400MB by itself. With 2GB of memory, my server crashes when a few people hit it at once.

At this point I’m not sure I have much choice but to rip out bbPress and replace it with another forum solution.
