This issue of the dreaded "Fatal : memory allocation error" has been discussed to no end. However most solutions were aimed at, increase php.ini limit to 16M-32M and so on. But when you are on a shared server, it may not be always possible. For example 16M is reasonable to ask from your admin, but more than that its a drain on resources.
So I am looking for a way by which drupal can be limited to 16M. I came across the "split mode" thingi, but how well does that work? Is there a HOWTO anyone can point me to for using the split mode?
If I am the admin of a shared host with 20 people running their own dynamic websites, I would be concerned giveing 32MB to each of them. My server would go down. 16M is the max I can get, therefore I have to work within 16MB. So any suggestions which can help me reduce my memory load, I will be greatful. Esp for the split mode thingy.

Sorry, i see You already checked it.
Try to minimize number of used modules, mabe even remove those which are not used.
IT does not work on 4.6.4
So I am kinda stuck. Looks like I have to delete modules. Any ideas which files to delete manually?
Nope
No, this is something you really have to decide for yourself. Good candidates would be the ones you don't use.

In development
Split mode is in development for 4.7. As 4.7 is also being developed ie not stable, I wouldn't recommend it for production sites. I you'd want to test it though, go ahead!

More about 4.7
Will split mode be available by default in 4.7 or some things will have to be done manually?(Applying patches etc.,)
Unknown
I wanted to get back to you earlier, but I forgot. Sorry..
Probably won't be on by default, but I can't really say; it's not finished.
