[Labs-l] large bots

Hi,

in order to save system resources on bots project I decided to create one
huge application instance instead of ton of small instances.

If we consider the usage of operating system for disk storage, and RAM, you
easily find out that 10 small instances eat about 1800MB RAM and  20GB of
hdd storage more than it would be needed in case we had only one OS working
with multiple processes.

I know that this bring out some extra problems, so I would rather consider
it experiment for now. But given that we install some process killers
handling out broken bots that eat too much ram and such, it should work
(though it would be more like toolserver used to be). Of course, some extra
bots can still live on their own dedicated servers.

So in case you want to help me test this new experiment and you have some
bots running on bots-2 - bots-4 you can move them to bots-bnr1 (big non
root = bnr)
