First: that is memory: it is the ram sqlite cache, not hard disk space. Sqlite uses this to cache accessed pages.
It occured to me after I sent that I might have misunderstood.
I think you are missing one scenario: installation:
On installation, there is a ramdisk so everything you have on disk affects ram usage.
Still, if we are not in installation, we could default to bigger ram caches, or setup the value depending on the amoun of memory available.
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?
