It depends your configuration and the amounth of users, and the database,
and the level of queries, and the structure of the DB, but generaly speaking
I would say you need between double and triple of what you need with SS.

In the case I tested it, with "SS" I need 850K for 50 Users, with Classic I
need about 1.6 Giga
