But it's not just about RAM.  There is CPU consumption.  There is
another unneeded service running which creates a possible security
exposure.  It means hundreds of systems to upgrade and manage instead of
one.  One is almost always easier, safer, and less expensive to manage
than hundreds - at least in my management experience - John
