The limiting factor on SunRay2 deployment is Memory
use on per User Desktop.  60 SunRay User Desktops
managed on a single SunRay Server appears to be typical...

The top memory consumption programs are:

- Xorg
- Mozilla
- Firefox
- Thunderbird
- StarOffice
- Gnome-Terminal

In the target audience for SunRays, what are the primary
applications utilized on SunRays?

Any reductions in Memory consumption of the above applications
results in a direct ability to scale SunRay User Desktops on a
single SunRay Server instance.

Joel.
