16GB here and fine. Don't play many games though - probably need more if I did. Fine for watching movies.

What is the threshold these days before memory refresh cycles start dragging down CPU performance?

Well my workstation has a whole 2GB of memory (runs Ubuntu) but I don't really use it that heavy. My other interactive sessions of which I have a load each have 4mb of storage (but I can run a lot of stuff in virtual storage using more than 32GB if I require) which is sufficient and those systems have storage ranging from 10GB up to over 200GB

It's total bloatware.Not my doing I'd like to add.
I think I'm going to have to split the work over a couple of machines. I'll shift one of the VMs on to my laptop.
