Yep, and isn't this the biggest weakness of CF to date? Are other technologies limited to 1GB or ram? PHP/.NET/RoR?
I can understand why myspace migrated away from CF. With sketchy session replication and the fact that you can't have more then 1GB per instance, it's just getting impossible to run a site that handles a lot of sessions in CF even with multiple instances/boxes.
