FWIW, I looked at login page timing for our site.

completed in <= 10s 88%
completed in <= 30s 91% (+3%)
completed in <= 60s 92% (+1%)
completed in <= 180s 94% (+2%)

And it slowly tails off from there; ~5-10 minutes may not be a bad number. :-)

I understand the default Tomcat (in my case) session timeout is some 30 minutes 
(though did not verify), so a 20-25 minute 'memory savings' might not be worth 
twiddling the config. Something to keep in mind ....

Thanks.
Tom.
