&gt; &gt; I presume the comments about disk-based muds running faster than

&gt; &gt; machine with a large surplus of RAM?  
&gt; 
&gt; Yes, but only just.
&gt; 
&gt; Aside: I've done a lot of work on large RAM machines (the machine I'm
&gt; typing on now has 256Meg RAM, which is piddley compared to the 32Gig
&gt; RAM sitting behind me).

FYI:  got 64MEG for $89, including rebates.  A one gig machine
is no longer that big of a leap.  Of course, I'll need to write
something to use all this wonderful space :)


[snipped good args about heap management]

I wonder if this applies in Java?  Since it is already managing
all the memory, I'd bet it does (or will) provide heap defrag.

Anyone got any info on this?

Ben
