Sys-firewall defaults to 500/4000 initial/max memory with memory balancing enabled, so it should surrender memory it's not actually using to other VMs as needed. You could drop max to 500 as well but leave balancing enabled. That worked for me on 3.2. I've been relying on balancing in 4.0 except during a couple RCs when it wasn't working. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
