SqueakSource usage levels?

I actualy run ours with "-memory 64m" on the cmd line.

We have problems with it freezing from time to time.  The server  
freezes always under heavy load, like someone uploading several  
versions in a row. In this case I log into VNC and wiggle the mouse a  
bit. Then it continues to serve. I haven't tracked down the problem  
yet. Ian mumbled something about some stale file handles, but that  
was about it.

On my to-do list is replacing the awful data.obj dump with something  
more sensible, like Magma. Our data.obj is now at 6 MB and takes  
minutes to save. But I'm not sure when I'll get around to that.
