Sorry, but I cannot agree. We tried with VCRM 7.3.4 on all of our VCRMs (we have tried to split the load per region) and VCRM eats up all memory "just fine" on all of them (all HP Proliant DL360 G7 servers with Win2k8R2 and 8 or 16GB of RAM and 1or 2 Quadcore Intel CPUs)...unacceptable from my perspective.
In the end, we considered that VCRM is causing much more troubles than solving issues, so we decided to disable/ uninstall it. We are changing our policy to not installing any SPP components, unless absolutely necessary.
