Dear Johannes Nix: It is cool that the Tahoe-LAFS storage server works at all on that tiny NAS device! Does it work okay? Is your desire to reduce the memory footprint to eliminate some failures, or to improve performance, or to allow concurrent use of other processes on the same device, or to move it to an even smaller device, or something else?
The numbers you give sound about right. I measured resident RAM usage on 32-bit x86 servers a couple of times, and found that it started at around 32 MB and the high water mark of resident RAM usage was about 56 MB. I don't know of any technique that could further reduce it, aside from profiling the memory usage and reporting back to this list. If your profiling turned up some "low hanging fruit" of wasted memory, then perhaps some Tahoe-LAFS developer would be motivated to try reducing that.
