Please note that quite a lot of installation problems mentioned recently
on the
mailing list have been related to venti beeing very memory hungry.

Without beeing able to contribute technically to a solution i propose to
mitigate
it by adding support for setting up venti parameters in the installation
scripts,
or by setting safe values by default and leave performance tweeking to the
experienced.
