Unlike C based ARSystem, V9 does not consume memory on every defintional recache. The startup memory is higher because it has more processes like FTS ( in V9 FTS is part of server and not a separate plug-in) inside the server. So overall V9 is more efficient process in memory utilization compared to old server and application does uses the language in most optimal way. Hope this claries a bit.

I can not understand how a modern Java based application could be less efficient (CPU and memory) than the bloated C based arystem process, that had become so utterly inefficient in previous releases. Anything requiring GBs of RAM to even start, and vast amounts of CPU to become 'ready', is in need of help. Java isn't an inefficient platform - it's got an old school reputation for being a bit inefficient, but it's the application not the language at fault now-a-days...
