Upgrading your server and clients to 0.25.x will probably double your server's capacity. Adding passenger mikes it much higher. My server with passenger is a Pentium D with 512 Megs of Memory. It's just fine when I tell all the clients to hit it at once. Even then, the puppet runs only take twice as long.
