well because this is for an 15K member organization, and that is a MAJOR change. I'm in charge of the web project, not the hardware, and as much as I've fought that battle, the best I've gotten was virtualization still on a 32-bit OS. I ordered 2 new 2K8 64b systems (still virtualized :: stroke ::) but they should take care of all the users. If I had my way it'd be different, but you know how corporate world is. Just like the military.... hurry up and wait. :)
I DID manage to get everything running mostly optimally. Here's what I did: in the environment variables I set JAVA_OPTS = -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xms=256M -Xmx=1536M. Now Tomcat runs FAST and with about 3000 users, it's still blazing along using about 150MB on each of the 4 boxes. Much better than 500MB per box, with 1500 users. If it needs more ram, I change the variables and bounce the TC Server. No biggie.
