The general hope is that you can run the live image that best suits your
needs and requirements.

As it turns out, memory isn't the biggest problem.  A bigger problem
actually is the compression from squashfs.  I've got an update pending
for livecd-iso-to-disk (already on my people page, but not in git) to
copy over the raw ext3fs.img instead.  The difference this makes is
pretty staggering.

As of snap1, setroubleshoot is generally off on the live images (though
for those installing a live image to a regular machine, you'll get
normal setroubleshoot functionality after rebooting)
