We have a web system that's load balanced at around 7 million packets
per day. It's running on a Pentium III 700 with 2 Gigs of RAM.
Load average runs typically below 0.05 (ldirectord is doing that).

Our slave is the same, but with only 1 Gig of RAM. It works the same on
both machines. With cache and buffers, it barely uses a gig of RAM.
