.92 is running with tmpfs now. Having swap in memory is a bit
redundant. Just do without swap.

512 MB should be plenty of RAM. I would not want to dip below 256
MB. I do not see MySQL growing too big with some housecleaning,
but Apache and perl are a potential concern. It might even be
able to run on only 64 MB, but would like to avoid having to put
in the energy to trim things down for it to work.
