Well, I've configured it to use 12GB if it wants, but it's quite happy using 1.2GB when the throughput was max, so they did something right with wowza3 and memory management. Wowza2 wasn't so nice...

the server is a bit of a beast:

Intel Server motherboard S5000PSL INTEL BX80574E5420A E5420 2.5Ghz quadcore x2
6x 4gb Kingston DDR2 667 fully buffered
2x SSD disk Intel 40GB for system
24 x Western Digital Raid Edition 4 2TB ADAPTEC 3805 up to 256 disk Raid 1 hardware

Of course, wowza is running on SSDs, streaming content from 24TB array, so the SSDs surely help here.

--edit here it is:
Code:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
