Rule of Thumb for Django

[Jehiah Czebotar]

Robin, it's impossible to nail a specific memory size as a guideline
but the following should help

a) start small (~64 or 100 megs) and watch your statistics.
Many people achieve high hit ratios even with small(er) amounts of
memory. I get ~80% hit ratio with a small size (100Mb), and ~90% with
a much larger size(1gig). It' up to you to decide how much gain you
need.

b) don't ever allocate enough memory that your system starts swapping. ever.
