[Hawkular-dev] memory footprint with swarm

[John Mazzitelli]

I was running the swarm agent and so while I was here, I decided to take a quick look at memory footprint. I took these numbers from the Gnome System Monitor GUI utility.

swarm agent:
   Memory=188M, Resident Memory=208M

full wildfly agent:
   Memory=351M, Resident Memory=378M

So swarm agent was roughly half the size of full wildfly agent.

This was not a scientific study :) I just started the agent, when I saw it finished initializing, I looked at the System Monitor and read the memory numbers.

And Jay claims if he put his mind to it, he can shrink the swarm agent further. :) But we aren't doing any more work on it at the moment.
