I did a quick heap profile using -hy: http://code.haskell.org/~basvandijk/hackage-server.hp View it using hp2any-manager (it seems hp2ps only shows one part of the profile). I killed hackage-mirror and hackage-server when the resident memory of hackage-server was over 1GB. At that time it was uploading packages beginning with 'b' (so there were still a lot to come). According to the profile most space is used by ARR_WORDS (which is the internal name for a ByteArray# if I remember correctly).
