Each _mprosrv -m1 consumes 10-20Mg RAM at start-up IIRC and the cost to the operating system is in kernel calls and context switches. If the CPUs are not busy then the cost is likely negligible and most modern boxes have more than enough RAM. With that said, I typically put regular users on -Ma 5, AppServer agents on -Ma 1 (if they can't be shared mem) and any heavy batch (ex.: reporting queues) on -Ma 1. As for Progress, I would think that one day soon they will make the _mprosrv multi-threaded as they have done for _sqlsrv and for the new multi-session AppServer agent in PASOE. This will give you the more-or-less equivalent of -Ma 1.
