I haven't checked anything out in Tails specifically,
but there are various guides that might be useful:

Thanks for this research! Their most practical suggestion is to "trim extension", which we did.

By the way, we have regular QA tests to check that Tails is usable with 2GB of RAM. While I'm all for saving resources, I don't think it's realistic to bring down the requirement to 1GB. The best we can do is to try hard to not bump the requirement to 3GB.
