OK, ready...

40 GB sounds correct.  The existing machines have 8 GB, so a target of
4 GB would be a rollback, not a upgrade :-)  40 GB will allow for at
least a five fold increase in LDM queue size, from 6 GB to at least
30 GB (maybe even 35 GB).  This will be a wonderful upgrade!

Given the offset of the peak in parallel NAM (aka fire weather) volume
from the existing peak that is dominated by global GFS, I think it is
safe to run the existing setup for the next few months.

Cheers,
