I have 160mb of ram, all services running except vpn and it always stays at 96%
memory utilization. I think it caches a lot of stuff in memory, and keeps it
there. Look in the forums and it shows that is normal. I think with 256mb and
all services running it will never dig into swap memory. Even if it did, it's
no problem at all. You probably will never notice it.
