excellent, very understandable, thanks dave >> our laptops have 1gb of memory and your saying thats fine if >> it is on a vps as it is only dealing with cf, but seeing as >> it is our laptops and we are using it for various things then >> we need to invest in laptops with more ram... > >You have two options. You can limit the amount of memory that JRun consumes >to, say, 512 MB, or you can get more RAM. I recommend the latter. > >> is what i have explained normal for jrun to behave like this? >> and is there not a way for us to manage it more effectively? >> if so can anyone point us to any tutorials or guides to help >> us understand how we need to manage it better > >Yes, that's pretty normal. Application servers tend to be >resource-intensive; they're not designed to coexist with all the other stuff >you run on a personal computer. They tend not to release memory that they've >acquired, since acquiring and releasing memory is expensive, and presumably >they'll need that memory in the future, so why let it go? For a dedicated >application server, there's nothing wrong if it's using all the RAM and CPU >cycles, as long as the applications it host perform well. > >Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software >http://www.figleaf.com/ > >Fig Leaf Training: Adobe/Google/Paperthin Certified Partners >http://training.figleaf.com/ > >WebManiacs 2008: the ultimate conference for CF/Flex/AIR developers! >http://www.webmaniacsconference.com/
