Hi

I was installing X-Pack on a server with 1 GB of RAM, and it took ages in the "Optimizing and caching browser bundles..." stage, after two days, I finally had to cancel it.

I now move it to a 2GB server, and it took long (about 20 minutes), but it finished.

I think there is something weird in the way X-Pack optimizes bundles, that at least it requires 2GB. Did you notice a similar issue?

Thank you!

Would it make sense to describe there is a minimum memory requirement in X-Pack kibana install documentation as a requisite?
