Thanks for the ideas, Yes, the VPS is on OpenVZ - no swap. currently 256mb RAM with 384mb burstable. Sounds like I should up it to 512mb (768 burstable)
If it would be helping? I wouldn't mind helping with the wiki and putting in a short section somewhere that mentions typical memory requirements. Maybe it could go in the FAQ near discussion of dependencies.
