It occured to me after I sent that I might have misunderstood.

Hmm.. couple of questions:

#1
Are these few megs of RAM that we're talking about crucial for running the 
graphical installer on 256 megs of RAM without needing swap or not? 

If yes, I think saving RAM should be high priority.

#2
Are we near the dangerzone wrt. RAM during installation on 384 MB or 512 MB 
systems?

If not, why not use away and proritize daily use performance? 
(assuming #1 doesn't come into play)
