IPA minimum RAM requirement, is it possible to hard limit memory use by IPA?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

As of 20120220, the "RHEL 6.2 Identity Management Guide" states that only 1GB of RAM is needed, however it really looks like IPA needs at least a 1.9GB of free RAM.

2.2.1. Hardware Requirements reads:

Table 2.1. Minimum Hardware Requirements
Minimum Hardware Requirements
10,000 - 250,000 Entries   250,000 - 1,000,000 Entries    Over 1,000,000
Entries
CPU     P3; 500MHz
RAM     1 GB    1 GB    1 GB
Disk Space      2 GB    4 GB    8 GB
