Adriano, I had similar problems with the default installation. I changed my configuration to use Tomcat and MySQL, and the results have been great. The RAM footprint is much smaller now - Tomcat using 98MB of RAM and MySql using 38MB of RAM. Other benefits are: it loads much faster, it's been much more stable, and it was also very easy to switch over to the new configuration. Hope this helps! Regards, Len Wanger
