Well, it certainly is useful in dev envs but it's also very useful in production too. Another RAM usage example is illustrated by macromedia.com's setup. We typically see RAM usage of 2-3Gb per instance (on Solaris) so multiple instances let us use the 8Gb RAM we have installed. You wouldn't want garbage collection active on an 8Gb heap - it would be lumpy (when it GC'd it would be pretty heavy and the server would pretty much stop serving requests). Having multiple 2Gb instances is better for GC performance. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme Got Gmail? -- I have 5 invites to give away!
