>things like having the ability to set heap sizes
Oh that has always irritated me, and others - having to know what to set it to up front - interesting that you like it?

I like it as there's only so much physical memory on a server, and there's only so much virtual memory a kernel can provide. Swapping is not a good idea if you're looking into performance, and hence limiting the heap size can turn out to be a good strategy to ensure that your application does perform within expected boundries.
