* Make sure that the command {{{java}}} implies {{{-server}}} on your machines, or else you will have to explicitly enable it.
+ * Are you swapping? JVMs hate swapping. Adjusting [http://www.sollers.ca/blog/2008/swappiness/ swappiness] may help.
+ * By default, each regionserver puts up 10 listeners only. Up it if you have measurable traffic (See hbase.regionserver.handler.count in hbase-default.xml).
