Except that rpm (and yum) use a lot LESS memory these days than they did in the RHEL-5 era, which I think was used as a comparison here. That's not where all the memory has gone, quite the contrary.
While that may be true, the amount of ram (free -m) used during an install *triples* when we get to the desolve and package install phase. In my most recent test the "used" number went from roughly 550m just before the packages step to 1645 during.
