So much text, so little sense
As for the RasPi, I don't have any hard statistics, only some minor experience from running the Gallery server. It uses about 200 MiB of RAM with 5 players connected, and all the CPU it can get. It is still possible to use the Pi otherwise, though, it will just slow down the server a bit. I normally compile a new version of the server while the old version is still running; the chunks load a bit slower, but other than that there's no difference on the gameplay.
Note, though, that the Gallery server is somewhat different to your normal minecraft server - it has no mobs, it kills most entities before spawning, the redstone and fluid physics are turned off, it has almost zero terrain generation costs and the players have been allocated a smaller view distance - just about everything to make it running smoothly even on a RasPi. You can see for yourself what it feels like, connect to gallery.xoft.cz
