As for the numbers in the 1Xms and 1Xmx, these could be further optimized if you are working on a client with lots of memory. Those numbers are good for clients that have about 2 Gigs of available memory. You could go higher on higher powered clients. Look at Oracle's KB's on optimizing JVM's.

AR Server is fine. I don't think a sandbox takes much more resources than it did in 6.x without ITSM. DS can definitely take more memory than the Admin Tool did but without ITSM you don't need to allocate nearly as much memory because the object count is much lower. I have a VM that is 4 or 5gb
