Ok, one last message I swear.

The memory we see in a medium size deployment is around the 1G range,
but it's Java so it take whatever you give it.  Larger applications
will probably use around 2G-4G if you give it to them.

Secondly, the performance of JRuby with Rails is around 20% slower,
especially when running unit tests.

Finally, I recommend switching the template language to Erubis.
Something about Erubis using plain simple strings keeps the java
compiler happier so your stuff runs a billion times faster.

Good luck man.
