Yeah - nothing stopping you running a new version of the backend without
upgrading the whole system!
The backend hasn't got any more resource intensive since 0.22, so you really
should be fine...

Incidentally, while you're at it, keep going to 0.24 - 0.22 and 0.23 were
pretty unstable in my experience, but it's been nice and quiet this release
cycle...

(conversely, there's nothing stopping you from tracking down the source to
0.22-fixes and building it for your current system, but I doubt that would
be very much fun)
