I did some research last night on Zone memory/CPU usage and came up with this link

Based on his system specs (2x3.4 GHz CPU, 512MB ram, and running win2k pro), I would guestimate total memory usage to load up all 397 zones staticly(based on current PEQ-4-1106 update DB) to be around 3.5~4 GB with 25~30% constant CPU usage and assuming no one is logged into your server. Most people won't have that much physical ram, but pagefile cache can be used to augment it. While using PF "memory" lets you run more than you otherwise would be able to, it is far slower than having as much physical memory as you can get. From what I have noticed on my server (Athlon64 3000+, 1.5 GB ram, 3 GB PF, winXP Pro-32bit) is that a PF cached static zone loads about as fast as a dynamic zone while a ram cached static zone loads about 4x faster.
