Okay

Transit servers 1GB, reader machines 2GB. If the history hash doesn't
fit in memory expire takes forever, so innd+innfeed+expire+histiry.hash
is a place to start.

  Readers or feed? In either case, sounds low. Feeds, particularly from
Typhoon or Cyclone seem to want lots of sockets open. Of course INN has
that polling loop, so this is not the most desirable way to go, but
there it is.
