Not sure this is worth much, besides anectodal value:
I used to have it running on a tiny machine (single core armv5, 512 MB
RAM) acting as an (internal only) file server (for niche purposes,
access speed did not matter). The daemon processes in samba4 are a lot
more heavyweight (memory + cpu wise) and this tiny box had issues
running samba 4 (which I use on all "real" file servers when they
are not NFS-only).
But that tiny hardware (unfortunately) has died and the replacement
is a full grown 8GB aarch64 system and of course has no problem running
samba 4.
