Zimbra is actually a combination of a number of things including Postfix (I think that's the MTA they use), OpenLDAP, MySQL, a Java based application that runs in a JVM (I believe), amavisnew, and spamassassin. It starts up a number of services/processes and with all of that, is very RAM hungry.
It attempts to start everything, one service at a time... and if you don't have enough RAM, it just fails at some point.
I haven't tried it in a VPS yet but I will.
So, if I understand you correctly, there may be advantages to running the "Enterprise" kernel even if you don't have greater than 4GB of RAM or SMP? ...along with some additional processing overhead as a negative consequence.
I do believe my point about Memory Resource parameters is still valid... they are pretty confusing to non-kernel hackers and they aren't well documented in the OpenVZ User's Guide... and additional, more complete documentation is desirable.
