Wait. So WordPress hogged memory (we can certainly understand that) so  
you now are afraid of Habari doing the same thing?

While that is completely understandable, I'd challenge you to actually  
complain if *Habari* starts causing memory problems.

I completely agree. A small blog with the engine behind it should not  
require its own dedicated box... if there is excessive memory usage,  
that is a flaw in the application, not necessarily the design pattern.

I guess what my point comes down to is: don't blame Habari for the  
faults of WordPress. :) If you're concerned about memory usage, you  
can run tests locally with various plugin configurations.
