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.
