We have here an 11/23 (among other things) with 256k RAM and
2 7.5MB hard disks (for a total of 15 Megs).  There are up to
13 simultaneous users out of  a user community of 150!  Most
of the work is editing and cross-assembling.

The system runs 2.8BSD, and will soon run 2.9 (we are porting the
system at this time).  The system has no manuals on line and some
utilities have been removed to save space, but the system is built
so that USERS and SYTSTEM can live on ONE DISK! (The one disk version
is used only if the other platter crashes.)

So unix(tm) is not really such a hog for resources.
