Historically most users were using the single cloud installation at zulip.com, and so having this significant fixed memory overhead wasn't a problem.

I expect someone will do the work the fix this before long; it shouldn't be hard.

Thanks for the explanation! I take it that the open sourced zulip is very close to what zulip.com runs, then?

  • Yes, it's in fact exactly what's running on zulip.com.

    puppet/zulip_internal in the server repo even has the zulip.com puppet configuration (sans secrets).
