Oto kilka testów pod Solaris i Linux 64-bit
Solaris 10 - SPARC - maszyna T5220 z 32 GB RAM (i około 9 GB wolnego)

BTW: Najwyraźniej Java nie przydziela dużo pamięci podczas uruchamiania. Wydawało się, że zajęło to tylko około 100 MB na uruchomioną instancję (zacząłem 10)
Solaris 10 - x86 - VMWare VM z 8 GB RAM (około 3 GB wolnego *)
3 GB wolnej pamięci RAM nie jest prawdą. Jest duży fragment pamięci RAM, którego używają pamięci podręczne ZFS, ale nie mam uprawnień administratora, aby sprawdzić, ile dokładnie
