It uses just as much RAM running at 640x480x15 (with Xvesa, which takes up 
1.2% of memory).  This is without even accessing a web page.

I don't know how it works at all in 16MB RAM (with 16MB swap space).
Maybe it uses less RAM if less is available?  Why does it show up twice in 
'top'.  I am using 28MB RAM with Xvesa and opera running, but 25MB without 
- ????

Why am I running keventd ksoftirqd and kswapd and kupdated?

I should set XF86Config to 8-bit color to save RAM.
