Uh? Entire DB in memory? I don't think it does... of course if it fits
then access of the next users is faster, but that's normal filesystem
cache issues, not monotone loading it all.
Not the last time I checked, at least...

Myself I've sync'ed the database with the photos of the last summits a
few times, and that's for sure bigger than the RAM of laptop I did use.

OTOH the 'usual' access is directly with netsync protocol, and that does
not have that limit: many users can sync concurrently (OTOH it's more
difficult to set up... as difficult as creating a couple of text
configuration files and starting the server at boot time, though).
