#1046 new enhancement

add note to performance.txt about expected memory usage

Description (last modified by zooko)

Basically on a typical i386 or amd64 linux system we expect Tahoe-LAFS processes to start life consuming about 30 MB of RAM (resident set size, that is. Disregard "virtual memory" measurements, which are meaningless.) and grow to no more than 80 MB of RAM after prolonged usage. Then factor in the "memory footprint of specific operations" notes that are already in docs/performance.rst to predict how much RAM you'll need to run your Tahoe-LAFS nodes.
