Sorry I didn't make myself clear.

If they are sharing code, in terms of needing the same functions, you
would be better to extract that functionality into plugins.

When I said sharing code, I really meant sharing data, meaning that
they needed the same database.

I'd worry about having unrelated apps running as part of the same
mongrel cluster accessing the same data base.

Not sure about memory use, but doubt its significant.  Take a look at:
