I'm afraid this will depend on the amount of packages present in the repository. While some optimizations could be done to reduce the memory usage, it will still be in the hundreds of MiB, I'm afraid. Also time has passed and minimal system memory has improved, I'd say. I'm thus closing this report. Thanks, Guillem
