Slow response for the next week

“persephone.cfrq.net”:http://www.cfrq.net/ is also “herne.third-bit.com”:http://www.third-bit.com/, hosting a couple of “UofT”:http://www.utoronto.ca/ “Computer Science”:http://www.cs.toronto.edu/DCS/index.html “project courses”:http://www.artsandscience.utoronto.ca/ofr/calendar/crs_CSC.htm#CSC494H1. The students are in the final crunch of developing a servlet-based application.

The students have set things up so that they are sandboxed from each other (a good idea). Unfortuantely, this means that tomcat is loading separate copies of all of the support classes, one for each student.

The net result is that tomcat wants twice as much memory as is available on the box, causing aggressive paging activity. Expect both the webserver and e-mail to be a little slow for the next couple of weeks, until they’re done…
