Hi Jeff,

You are rigth. When moving jars's configuration and resources have to 
move, too. But as others pointed out analysation of the mem usage is by 
far more important. Maybe buying some mem for a couple of dollars and 
forget about the shared class loader at all is a better and less hair 
graying approach :-)
