I have a hard time believing it as well. You are correct in saying
it is fat, probably this is the problem. At least in my experience
with Solaris, it requires 24 meg of RAM to run with Linux on 16
with X and still doesn't seem as fast.

You may not have such a hard time believing it after reading that.
