2.1.10x isnt usable on a server with 16Mb. It eventually fragments itself to death normally death by dcache fragmentation of main memory. I suspect a 32Mb box will simply last longer rather than survive indefinitely.
I'm rebooting 32Mb SMP machines running 2.1.106/2.1.108 every 48 hours to get my compile performance back from 2/3rds of boot time.
I don't think VM fixing by the ostrich technique is remotely realistic for 2.2 even if Linus does.
