It holds information about the library.  Both essential data for
playback like type of encoding and starting byte offset of music data,
as well as non-essential "metadata" such as track and album titles,
artist name, genre.

Yes, it's required.  SqueezeCenter always needs to read information
about a playable track from the database.

Not that I'm aware of.

For the most part, the database isn't kept in memory, except as needed.
The only real control you have over the memory usage of SlimServer is
in the plugins that you have loaded.  You could try disabling as many
as you can, but the savings may not be much.
