I am.
In fact I already have.

To be clear, I knew that the change from -kvm to -virtual was a conscious decision (I do not even know how long back I heard xnox talking about it, many years for sure) fixing the many issues xnox mentioned. I just never heard anyone saying or suggesting - and personally didn't expect it to be - that very intense on low-memory / density scenarios.

I'd be happy if everyone here could continue the thought of checking if any further package/module could be omitted (or at least not auto-loaded) for the minimal images. Which should tune us back down a bit, even if that is not all the way to where we were before.
