How much RAM does one instance of openedit requires?

Hi,

I have multiple instances of openedit running on my VPS.

Recently I have started experiencing problems with my memory requirements. My server goes out of memory and shuts down Tomcat.

There is nothing else on the VPS. Only 6 instances of openedit configured under different domain names as separate websites.

Can anyone let me know how much does a single instance of openedit consume.

Thanks.

I just ran a benchmark. Looks like OpenEdit takes five megs for each installation.

Tomcat may need a configuration tweak to add more memory to the heap or more MaxPerSize?

Ran a profiler and found these results. For six sites we use 25 megs.

9.5 megs Used by VelocityCharStream
1.6 megs used by Apache String Utils
The rest is mostly from the web server and Class loading

Seems like the Velocity cache is using more memory than we would like. I will look into if there is a setting we can use to make a smaller cache.

Have made some changes to Velocity today after seeing this comment about Tomcat.

Maybe give the new development version a try.

Great! I will download and try the new version and will post my findings here.

It works much better than before.

Thanks.
