Throwing in my 2 cents...we are running 0.4 on 2 FreeBSD boxes and have had absolutely no trouble. One is a Ghz Athlon and the other is a 500Mhz Celeron, each with 256 mb of ram, they handle a reasonable number of requests...and barely break .5% of utilization under normal load.
We did a test fire of 5000+ authentication requests against the servers and got the utilization to about 5%. This is even after a munged up way of handling proxy requests.
