If anything I even would like to decrease the memory configuration rather than increase it. Unfortunately I got overruled by the Oracle guys who still think more memory means better performance. During the migration from Oracle 10 to Oracle 11 we have gone up from 5400M to 6G. I don't like to give more memory for various reasons. Some of them can be found in the list, I have discussed this a few years back.
In this case, why add memory only to support poorly configured processes? As mentioned, the backup process in a full backup runs without any additional memory load and uses 3G memory in an incremental backup. That makes no sense to me.

Did you try giving the virtual machine more memory? Is 6G a special number for this workload?
