  The following memory utilization represent average memory per instance as calculated by dividing total database memory by the number of instances. This simple mechanism would imply that on designs with larger number of instances, the average memory would be even lower as the fixed overhead of the library data would be spread across more instances.

Use these numbers only as a guide line; real numbers may differ on a case by case basis.
