Depending on  your work load you are just buying more time, so 
"reasonable" is a matter of perspective. :(  I didn't see if you said 
you are on 32bit or 64bit? Keep in mind the kmem max is 1.5-2G on amd64 
regardless of how much memory you have. If 512M arcsize crashes too soon 
for your tastes you can always lower it down to 256M, or 128M, etc.
