In general, you should minimize videomemory usage in your game. Why you’re using so big text, what it means for user?

At first, you can split instruction to several chunks where each chunk has fixed size. But there is perfect solution that minimazes memory usage and perfomance drop: since you instruction have 26\ letters\ and10 puntuaction chars, you can use CCLabelAtlas. This class needs special font which can be prepared by some software, but it keeps only one texture for ~36 characters instead of whole text.
