Give the new fastcgi hander in 2.0.1 a shot. It should be a bit less of a
memory hog, as there's no mod_perl overhead.

There's always more optimization to be done. At this point, RT performs
adequately well for reasonable ticket loads on modern hardware.  If a client
wanted me to spend time working on optimisation, it's certianly something I can
do. I suspect, however, that optimizing for the low end is really a waste of 
time and money, given that you could buy a new machine for far less than it
would cost for me to implement worthwhile space-saving optimisations.
