well, this is a sledge-hammer to crack a java nut idea. problem with java developers is that their answer when faced with performance problems is to simply throw more memory at it... and even with fast multi-core CPUs it takes a while to garbage collect a VM which has eaten ++30GB of ram. ;-( _______________________________________________ varnish-dev mailing list varnish-dev@projects.linpro.no http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-dev
