The developer guide is really incomplete, it is assumed that people can
learn
from code (just like all geoserver devs did), mostly because nobody ever
wanted
to sponsor work to build a larger dev docs.

None.

In the spring application context files, but you can add yours too.

Nope, there is no such a thing. Mostly because it has never been sponsored,
if I had to write one I'd look into plupload (http://plupload.com/), since
containers
would deny large upload anyways (where "large" is often as small as 2MB)

I would double the RAM, but besides that, normally the problem is with data
not being setup for web serving. See
http://www.slideshare.net/geosolutions/gs-steroids-sgiannecfoss4g20130103
for some suggestions.
That said, certainly 2GB/2core is a setup suitable only for light load.
