Hi Masood,
I haven't tried this myself, but I've heard people talking about having
about 1000 instances in the same JVM and getting them to run reasonably
well. The main issues were inefficient use of the heap for caching data
(since each instance has its own page cache) so that each instance would
have to run with a very small page cache to prevent exhausting the heap,
and a high number of background threads (this problem is logged as
DERBY-4210).
Others who have actually tried this might want to add to this or correct
me if I've got this wrong, though...
Hope this helps,
