Description
The official [hardware specs](https://github.com/ckan/ckan/wiki/Hardware-Requirements) suggest a 4 GB RAM requirement. However, on my developer machine with 16 GB RAM, I'm experiencing a lot of swapping within minutes of starting up CKAN - without a large database. I suspect my OS as well (current Manjaro, based on Arch Linux) could also be at fault (I have looked into OOM to avoid the system freezing). Nevertheless, I am wondering if we could check the defaults and perhaps suggest a "leaner" installation for VM and dev sandboxes.
This could just be a section of a README with some parameters relevant to memory consumption.
