Obviously, the easiest way is b). Concerning Vedrin's experiments, it
would be rather straightforward what to do (correct me if I am wrong),
namely to give the main proportion of RAM to a dedicated LDAP hosting
policy configuration in a separate JAVA VM.

Currently, the production service has only 2G of memory (and it does
not use a dedicated LDAP). 
Jiffybox offers "CloudLevel 5" (16 GB RAM / 8 CPUs) for 0,25 EUR/h,
which is their most powerful appliance.
When switching the machine (be the new one physical or not) we should
consider starting from scratch, as no upgrade from OpenSSO/OpenAM 9.0 to
the current version seems possible.

Best regards
Andreas
