vacuuming and indexing are not too frequent database administration tasks.

administration_mem ? admin_mem ? system_mem ? system_task_mem ?
systask_mem ? executive_mem ?

Anything may be chosen, but the point is to have a good comment within the
template configuration file.

I would nevertheless avoid "big".
What is big changes overtime with computers;-)
