What does "limited" mean? Tahoe doesn't actually require all that much, by
modern standards. Large files are processed in segments. I have a Linux
Virtual Server which I'm using as a helper node, and it only has 512 MiB
total (hard limit, no swap), over half of which is being used by other stuff.
Hasn't been an issue. When I asked if it would be, Brian (IIRC) said that
Tahoe's working set size is around 40 MiB.
