Hi,

basiclly a good idea, but you should know there is already an similar document:

http://www.igniterealtime.org/community/docs/DOC-1543

However, it would be nice to have an reference with more details.

Hi Coolcat,

I have noted the doc by Todd as well as the JVM guide by LG. Especially the JVM settings would be really useful for references.

And I am most curious about installations well aboce 10.000 named accounts… Some people seems to have these monsters…
