I forgot Pi3 was only 1Gb.

I don't use PCP (yet),  so my "advice" was based on what I think I read
in pcp threads.

I think there are two issues - Perl pointers (check using perl
-V:ptrsize )  and 64 bit OS kernel address.
Multiple process will share the memory that is accessible to the kernel
but most of the time LMS is one process managing many players.

If user does not already have a Pi3B+, it is worth going for Pi 4 2GB
over a Pi 3 with 1Gb as they are same price and there'll better
performance.

If a user already has a Pi3B+, is it worthwhile upgrading to a Pi4 ? 
Possibly - especially if large file collection, maybe not if mainly
internet streaming.
If user is "price sensitive" - is it worthwhile  to go for 4GB as 4Gb vs
2Gb is €60 vs €38.  - not sure but maybe future proofing.
