Description
The current https://docs.perfsonar.net/install_hardware.html says "The perfsonar-testpoint bundle may work with 2GB of RAM, but 4GB is recommended" and for toolkit "8GB of RAM". This is no longer true with the current Opensearch for toolkit. Unfortunately this is for sure not true for testpoint which is no longer lightweight but clearly pscheduler fills the 8GB memory for most of the day.
We need not only to optimise the sytems (see https://github.com/perfsonar/pscheduler/issues/1502 ) much more but also update hardware recommendations.

Research direction
Start with the hardware requirements page at docs.perfsonar.net/install_hardware.html and review the linked pscheduler issue 1502 for current memory constraints. Confirm realistic requirements for the perfsonar-testpoint bundle and toolkit with current OpenSearch and pscheduler usage, then update the documented recommendations.
