Jamie -

I am seeing some modules that are crashing when top is reporting memory
usage as low as ~20MB on a 128MB (no swap) system.

In addition to virtualmin, the mail handling modules seem to be pretty
memory hungry.

So are user deletion modules - I had trouble deleting a system user,
ultimately had to hand edit the passwd file to drop the user.

Is is possible to have the large libraries split up and loaded only as
needed?

Otherwise, it looks like both webmin and  virtualmin (and probably
usermin too) have outgrown their general usefulness, including for use
managing relatively small machines.

That might be OK if it is your intention, or if it just evolved that
way, maybe you can live with it - but can you let us know if you
can/will make efforts to reel memory usage back in?

I suppose I can help you with additional tests ....


Best,
