I should also add that the difficulty of just going with the number of 
devices is that some devices are just being pinged and some are 
collecting hundreds of datapoints.  It is certainly possible to ping 
1500 devices on 8gb of ram.  However, how much ram you'll need will 
depend on your environment.

iotop will show you if your disk load is being caused by swaping, you 
will then know that the issue is RAM.
