I guess this is mostly a question about java but... Does RPtools scale well to a quad processor machine with 4gig+ of memory?
Unfortunately, I can't answer this question as I am not a java expect or know much about linux either. Trevor is the lead developer for Maptool and is a member here or you can ask this over on the rptools forum. Of course, you can't actually have one program address 4+ gigs of memory unless you are using a 64 bit OS and probably java as well...

hmm.... that reminds me, I just noticed the other day that they now have a 64 bit beta version of GIMP and since I have 4 GB, 64 bit Windows, I should probably check it out to be able to use more of my physical RAM....
