[U2] Going to U2 University 2008?

I've only been to one U2 University (last year in San Francisco), and I was wondering if anyone who has gone several years has any feel for how different the conferences are from year to year. It is hard to tell from the course titles. I can't find any detail on IBM's website.

[U2] Why Buy (or develop in) UniVerse?

[U2] UniVerse and/or AIX caching

I've heard that UniVerse will cache data, or leave data in memory in case the next request needs it. Is there any way to control how much data gets kept in memory, and for how long? If one has 32 gigabytes of memory on an AIX machine, is there any way to tell the operating system (or UniVerse) to
