Very interesting, thanks. I would want to deploy ASP.NET MVC3-based web applications so restarting the web server sounds like it'd be my only option (I'm not going to waste my time re-architecting things if it's eventually likely to run out of memory anyway). Then again, I haven't tackled switching away from MSSQL (aside from learning to use a new DBMS, I'm a fan of stored procs too so I'd have to learn a new SQL dialect), either. Since my time is probably worth more than Windows licenses, it looks like sticking to Windows is the logical choice for now. Thanks for the offer to pick your brain... I may take you up on it some time :)
