When they figure out how to use quantum entangled bits to transfer classical
information ( currently deemed impossible )  you can use that. Or we could
always have the equivalent of somebody is typing a reply notification
subsystem that broadcasts to all recipients of the original email using a
message id ( Hey, that actually does not sound too bad :P )

You could get a bit more memory with compcache, but I doubt it would be 
sufficent.

 bare minimum so this result is not entirely unexpected.

 Given that I can't add a swapfile (simply not possible in this virtual
 server) is the only option more RAM? If yes, then what is the minimum?
 Are there ways to reduce the amount of memory used by emerge?

Do you have another more powerful gentoo machine available where you can build 
the packages there and install just binaries on the virtual server?
