[JDEV] Re: FW: server loading question

[Troy Tarrant]

Hi all,

We are developing a jabber client / server application where by we are 
using a jabber server as the message exchange. Currently we are using 
www.jabber.org's server for our dev purposes but we would like to know 
answers to the following questions:

1) How do we find out how much memory is allocated by the jabber server 
for each user, and how many users can a jabber server look after ? can it 
be farmed out etc ?
2) How are sessions handled in general (what starts and stops them / do 
they time out etc ? how many Java VM instances are created / running etc 
3) How much time does the system take to start a session, send a
 message from one user to another and to finish and free up recourses 
after a user has finished a session? What hardware specification of 
server do these figures relate to?

Any help in finding ansers to these questions would be appreciated

cheers
