Hi,

we should check that there are really no more than 32 instances of  
ResourceReader on the heap. If this is the case, all we need to do is  
to raise the -Xmx limit and add a note to the docs that blocks might  
need some more memory.

Meanwhile I will try to reproduce this problem in the cocoon-blocks- 
fw-demo so that it can be tested using JMeter and YourKit Java Profiler.
