v10.2 Server Hardware Requirements

Question

Why the memory requirements of NPM v10.2 are different as follows between physical and virtual servers?:

* Orion Server Hardware Requirements: SLX -> 8 GB memory
* Requirements for Virtual Machines and Servers : SLX -> 4 GB memory

Does it mean Orion running on a virtual machine can work more efficiently with less memory?
