[Exist-open] JVM allocation

[Kemp, C. <ek...@ri...>]

Greetings,

We have eXist 1.4 running on a 32 bit Red Hat 5 virtual server with 1 GB RAM and a single 2.8 GHz CPU.

Our application is going to be featured in the NY Times this weekend in a column written by our university president, Edward Ayers. In anticipation of a spike in traffic we're adding resources to the virtual server that holds the eXist instance feeding the site (http://collections.richmond.edu/secession).

We have a couple of questions for the list:


 1.  Can a 32 bit Red Hat 5 JVM use more than 2 GB of memory?
 2.  If so, what is the upper limit of memory usage?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
