About compiler memory consumption

[Dicebot]

While in general one may expect CTFE/template memory consumption 
to drop considerably, in vibe.d case it is unlikely to make that 
much of an impact. vibe.d does really lot of computations during 
compile-time, for example, all Diet templates get loaded and 
processed during that phase. I can't imagine optimizations that 
will make possible to fit compilation of any vibe.d project of 
notable size in 512Mb memory. To be honest, I'd hate to do any 
DMD + vibe.d development on anything less than 4Gb of RAM.

In that sense I think rsync'ing binary from development box is 
most reasonable approach in the long term. There is already 
working dynamic Phobos library for Linux, using it + stripping 
the binaries shall reduce their sizes quite a lot. Officially 
shared Phobos is still not very tested but I have not had any 
issues with it so far.
