Decreasing Memory Usage

Hi guys! We use JIRA at work (very happily!), and I do a bit of programming on the side, so decided to set up a JIRA instance on a hosted cloud server.

Unfortunately, I don't have the resources to afford a high-memory production server, so I'm making due with a 768MB CentOS 5.5 box.

What's strange is that even this setup doesn't seem to have the ability to run JIRA reliably! Here's the memory prior to startup:

{code}
root@vps [~]# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           768        332        435          0          5         18
-/+ buffers/cache:        308        459
Swap:            0          0          0
{code}

And here's the memory after startup:

{code}
root@vps [~]# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           768        754         13          0          0          4
-/+ buffers/cache:        749         18
Swap:            0          0          0
{code}

I know that 1GB RAM is recommended for a production server, but I have a single project, with a single issue, and it will often crash 5-10 minutes after startup. I'm running the standalone version 4.3.4. 440MB seems high for a single instance with practically no content.

Is there any way to decrease the memory footprint? Are there any non-essential plugins I can disable? Should I be running the Tomcat drop-in version instead of the standalone? Thanks!
