The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Patrick von der Hagen <address@concealed>]

Hi all,

some time ago someone mentioned on this list that sympa does extensive 
caching of list-information (both list-configuration and subscribers). 
If I understood that e-mail correctly, sympa does that for each daemon 
(bounced, archived, sympa, etc.) and so memory-usage is quite high.

Currently I run about 800 mailinglists on my listserv-installation, 5 
having a little bit more than 10000-users, 11 between 1000 and 9999 
users, 114 between 100 and 999 users and about 700 smaller ones. Most of 
the lists are low-volume, especially the big ones are only used for 
announcements once a month.

Currently I have only 1GB of RAM available. Might that be enough to run 
sympa or is it to little?
Can anyone provide figures relating to number of lists, list-size and 
memory-usage?
