Hello bill,

More computers that more CPU? You see the cheapest production server that I 
have is a 2 CPU Intel Xeon 3.0Ghz HP-Compaq rack server with 2GB RAM. And this 
is a dedicated server running only J. :D My best one has 4 CPU Intel Xeon 
3.0Ghz HP-Compaq rack server with 8GB ram but alas on this one J shares it with 
MS-SQL.

About memory management, if you would look in my C# J Session wrapper in  
http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Guides/J_CSharp#head-657861bc638169ed65f08e52c7d641cce98bf758
 , I make sure that unused J instances are released from memory. Actually, 
trivial J calls like sorting or picking are done the client and the servers are 
reserved for operations that would take more than a minute to complete. I 
basically decide which onesrun on the clients machine or which ones on the 
server during design.

Still, can you elaborate more on your opinion on my case? I might learn 
something new. :)

P.S.
Hong Kong airport is GREAT! FREE WiFi Internet Access! My flight is 6PM and 
I've been here since 11am and I've been surfing and playing Guild Wars all day! 
:D

Is this (max 24 J tasks) windows or web server limitation?

I found that jconsole application need 5 to 15 MB. So 24 J tasks already need 
about 15*24=360 MB.  Having one J task for each request is not very scalable, 
it 
seems that you need more computers than more cpu.
