4MB is very little, it's about what you need for 1 user, not running X
and not running Simultask.
In fact, 8MB is still not a luxury for 1 user running X.

You need not worry about your 16 user limit (except that you paid for
unlimited) if you have only 4MB. You wouldn't want that many users
anyway.
