While in general one may expect CTFE/template memory consumption to drop considerably, in vibe.d case it is unlikely to make that much of an impact. vibe.d does really lot of computations during compile-time, for example, all Diet templates get loaded and processed during that phase. I can't imagine optimizations that will make possible to fit compilation of any vibe.d project of notable size in 512Mb memory. To be honest, I'd hate to do any DMD + vibe.d development on anything less than 4Gb of RAM.

In that sense I think rsync'ing binary from development box is most reasonable approach in the long term. There is already working dynamic Phobos library for Linux, using it + stripping the binaries shall reduce their sizes quite a lot. Officially shared Phobos is still not very tested but I have not had any issues with it so far.
