It only says "it is a good idea", but doesn't say when exactly the
benefits vanish. So it is a good idea to mention the 256M requirement of
the testsuite.
minor point, but it attempts to allocate 256M. You would have to add
on the amount of ram used in a normal linux system. (I dont know what
that is offhand, 10-30MB?).
