I have XWiki 1.1-milestone-2.3619 available in my business. I use it as a repository for
engineering technical >information and legislation and as a Blog.

My XWiki installation is the default one with the jetty container. I use Vista x64 SP1.

The "xwiki_db.script" file is now over 3,5GB (mostly because I have many
attachments) and I have set >JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx2512m to be able to load XWiki.

The process java.exe occupies 2,6GB of RAM memory. I have bought additional RAM reaching a
total of 6GB to be >able to use the computer while XWiki is loaded.

XWiki as become an important part of my business and all my co-workers love to use it, so
the information keeps >growing.

I will most certainly reach the maximum RAM (8GB) of my computer and will have to make
large hardware >investments if I am to continue using XWiki.

Is there a less resource-intensive way for Xwiki to store attachments or a container more
suitable for the way >I use XWiki? 
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
