What solution?

Agreed, my memory consumption went up by almost a full order of  
magnitude.

With that being said, the new JCC based one just rocks in almost every  
way.  Even when I would develop a pure python, multi-threaded server  
with GCJ PyLucene I invariably would have constant problems.  Now I  
can run my code within a rock solid mod_wsgi Apache server and I never  
have issues.

It's a beautiful thing...RAM is cheap, downtime isn't.
