	Not really.  The customer whose box this is chose this much memory
because his previous server was a 256MB UltraSparc that was swamped all the
time with a load of 6 to 7.  

	The real problem was poor CGI programming.  I made them fix them.  
Now it toodles along with ridiculously low loads.  All the websites and the
mysql db fit in core. ;-)
