IMHO a 32 bit guest consumes less memory than a 64 bit one. Unless you

Proxmox dev's seem to agree with me.

Also, the disks should be of type virtio and not IDE. Performance under
IDE sucks big time.

I totally agree. Personally, all my QMT KVMs are 32-bit. In fact, all my KVMs are so 'specialized' (limited roles/services) that none are 64-bit.

In addition to virtio disks, network adapter should be virtio as well. :)

Thanks Bharath (and Dave of course).
