Processing status update

[Sebastian Mancke]

Hi John,

I'm not sure, If you saw my comment on Michaels blog-post, so:
http://gettingstartedopenmoko.wordpress.com/2008/05/28/processing-on-openmoko/

Your DBus startup Server looks nice. We are also interested to have a
general solution for this (not only focussing on processing apps).

- Do you already have an idea, on how (when) to free resources (objects
and class meta data) allocated by single processing applets?

- Do you have an Idea on how to start up the java 'sever' process only
on demand (when the first application should be executed) and shut down
the sever after an idle time?

Regards,
  Sebastian
