Hi all, Thanks for your suggestions. I tried it out and here is the result (everything is after startup and without any load or work. The numbers are the virtual memory that ps shows): - default configuration ~ 122MB - reduce db cache from 10MB to 1 MB ~ 113MB - reduce number of threads from 30 to 3 ~ 57MB - disable unneeded plugins ~ 55MB BTW This is still a factor of 5 higher than OpenLdap, which takes about 10MB >From what you wrote and from what I read and what my tests shows: It really seems that FDS is good for huge databases with high load, but not for the small ones with limited computer resources.
