Simple task dispatching (How heavy is celery + RabbitMQ)

Hi,

I'd like to use a light weight dispatching system for a web server.

Basically some django post requests might require processing, which
should be done in the back ground due to its run times.

The results would be added to the django data base.

The browser could verify via AJAX requests whether the task is finished.

The server would be running on a rather weak virtual machine with rather
low memory (nginx / uwsgi / django )

( For testing I run the server on windows with one of the following
setups (depending on what I'd like to test)
- django runserver
- twisted - django
- cygwin/nginx - fastcgi - django

Most people seem to recommend celery with RabbitMQ.
If I understood well, rabbit MQ requires Erlang to be installed and I
found some posts indicating that RabbitMQ requires quite some memory

So I wondered whether celery / RabbitMq wouldn't be a little on the
heavy side and eat away a little too much from my meory.

Is there any good light weight dispatching alternative to celery or
would this be one of these 'roll your own dispatcher' tasks?
