Possibly if you didn’t have swap space turned on (discouraged by most providers due to performance issues and hardware wear-out), I could definitely imagine your system going over the 1GB limit and getting various OOM (Out of Memory) crashes.

I did not experience crashes when I relied on swap space, but I also recently upgraded to larger RAM allocation / no swap and have seen a similarly dramatic performance improvement, especially during rebuilds.
