Hum.. i will have a little more than 2M files now and about 2,5M soon
(soon = before we can set up a dedicated machine with proper
configuration)

Is there any way to have more than 1G rvm? Is it pratical to have 2
servers on the same machine? What impact does a rvm as large as 1G (or
more) have to server performace (daily usage, backups, crash,
startup)?

Also, what about the LOG? it's used just by the transactions right? if
i understood what i read from the docs, since i only work with small
files i should be more than safe with the 20M, right?

Thanks!
