I personally think it would be good to start collecting the various server's stats so as to get a good feel as to what any specific hardware can handle... at least approximately.

Well, I haven't really noted specifics but I currently have 20 static zones and 5 dynamic loaded with nobody logged in. Memory usage is miniscule, the pagefile usage is up about 100mb and CPU usage is at 0%.
Once I log in from another machine and hit a static zone, memory usage increases by about 1 meg. CPU load hits 28-33% for about a second then drops down to 0-1% as I load the zone in my client.
I then went down into Runnyeye and made the biggest train I could - no noticeable effect on ram or CPU use but the network traffic runs fairly consistantly at 0.1% (100MB lancard).
I then started up ekarana to see the impact and it seems to use roughly 3MB ram. CPU use spiked up to 2% for about 1/4 second then dropped back to zero.
Oh yes, myserver is a P4 3.4 gig (single core) with 1gig of memory.
I'm thinking you can load a LOT of static zones even on just a 1 gig machine.
