Motivated by this post, I had a new go on KOreader. I tried both the "stable" version mentioned there and the most recent 2020.8.1 from https://github.com/koreader/koreader/releases.
I have to say that coming from "just" cr3, I'm impressed. For one, Koreader is the only one handling correctly mixed LTR-RTL text, which not even the stock pbreader does.
However neither of the two versions I have tried holds. I've found uncountable ways for crashing the program, by turning just a few pages, by entering the settings menus, by sketching some gesture on the touchscreen (not even knowing what their effect should be - never got that far in the settings).

Unless that is really a feature for reminding me that no single book deserves more than a cursive attention to a couple of its pages, and to stay away from the vane and addicting illusion of fine-tuning the configuration, has someone had better experiences than mine? Is KR demanding too much from the resources of PB631?

If I log in with ssh, I for example see with top that the process

Code:

 {reader.lua} ./luajit ./reader.lua

is taking 407Mb, 87% of VSZ on a particular medium sized epub, though I have still 157Mb free. Too much for headroom?

ETA: seen this thread, but it's old
