[fa.info-vax] Is more memory needed for VMS 4.1?

We recently installed VMS 4.1 on one of our VAX's, only to find that the
performance degraded dramatically.  The local experts tell us that the
machine now needs more than 4 MBytes of memory.  Unfortunately our
old memory controller won't handle any more memory even if we could
afford it.  Has anyone had a similar experience?  Do you really need
more memory or is this operating system just a lot slower?
