Well, we wanted to have 8GB of RAM (which was the maximum this time last
year), which meant that we needed the Premium license (this is pre-AX
licensing).

That means that we get 500Mbps throughput license by default, which we
don't really need.

So it looks like the more RAM you chase, the more gunk you pick up.
