[oi-dev] Plans to lower minimum memory requirements?

[ольга крыжановская]

btrfs claims to use less memory than zfs but is still a COW design and
openSUSE with btrfs runs smoothly in a vmware box with 384MB assigned.
How is this possible?

Is there any thing else we can do to optimize Openindiana?
