Oracle 9iR2 on Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 provides a new
feature (Very Large Memory) allowing to expand the System Global Area
to up to 62 GB. This new feature may theoretically allow to increase
the maximum number of users for an SAP/Oracle on Linux system. Anybody
knows how the memory above the 4 GB threshold will perform? If for
instance we know that 5 MB of (ordinary) memory on the DBMS (Oracle)
are required for just one user and that the most affected memory area
is the buffer cache, can we assume that (for instance, again) 6 MB of
(over 4 GB threshold) memory are enough to host another user?
