Have you received a reply from support?
(just curious what they had to say.)

Ah, I forgot to mention uw-imap and bind are running here also. All this 
stuff doesn't get much use. I'm mostly curious and learning about it. 
It's a tinker-toy, you know.
I have an athlon 1.4 gig, only 256megs memory, and it runs fine. Having 
everything on one machine is a bit stressing, and I've considered moving 
at least the web server to another. There is a bit of a loss of 
quickness when opening programs. ps -e output is quite long. Still, it 
works...

Enjoy.
