The max memory usage point is just before anna loads templates, when it gets down to ~5 mb free. This jumps to ~15 mb free after the templates are loaded and trimmed, and even partman doesn't drop it much below 10 mb free. Running in 48 mb without any lowmem -- wow! Lowem level 2 needs to stay above 32 mb. Not sure exactly where the cutoff is. Once lowmem mode is activated, the gain from your improvements is less, since lowmem mode already trims templates. I have high hopes for the nslu2, maybe it will be able to work w/o lowmem level 2 now. Haven't been able to check yet. Also, can someone explain why lowmem uses the same numbers for i386 and amd64? I'd expect amd64 to use roughly 2x the memory. -- see shy jo
