My PC has 512 MB, and i get these crashs, so high memory doesn't make you save.

I encountered the elevator problem often lately, and never in my early games. At least for me, its only the elevator at the back entry to the Rattkin Tree, not the one in Trynton.
The difference might be that in early games (without ironman), i killed the breeders and the other Rattkins before using the elevator. Now i usually only visit Barlone, and let the Rattkin alive until i am stronger. It seems that the wandering Rattkin groups use up too much calculation time, and when my position isn't updated for a while, i fall.

I assume the teleport bug you're talking about is that you sometimes fall through the floor into death. I didn't notice its related to playing time, but at least for me, its quite rare (maybe twice per game). In my ironman parties, i keep a copy of the savefile due to this bug (updated after each playing session), to avoid this death.

For me, it happened quite often in Lower Martens Bluff, sometimes in Trynton (fountain), and once in the Rapax Rift. Well, it happened twice in other areas, but that wasn't lethal. When i fell through the floor at He'Li's, i landed in the area below the temple. And in Ascension peak, i portalled back to the top, fell through the floor, and landed near the entry from mountain wildernesse.
