I think that is probably the conclusion from Jeffrey Arundel Ralph's
test runs as well. Although 384Mbyte is a bit high, if we say '200
megabytes, more preferred' that would be better.
I finally downloaded the data files, so I am going to try running
tv_imdb on my Linux box with a measly 128 megs (which is just fine
with anything else). Fortunately it's not the box with 128 megs which
also runs apache, mysqld, qmail, etc etc and which I nearly
slaughtered last time :-P.
