There's a mismatch here. There's no way the OS-level overhead is hundreds of MBs for an 80-MB heap. Are you sure the pmap command doesn't multiply by the number of threads or something like that (similar to what the Linux top command does)? > >of few hours. Ofcourse, optimizeit itself has overheads and adds to the A profiler typically adds an order of magnitude overhead. So for an 80MB heap on the app normally, an 800MB heap with a profiler is within the bounds of reason. But that'd be within the heap and the JVM. >process on solaris is 4GB.

The JVM is very efficient at handling reflection and properly storing Method references. As you said, you need to look at the profiler more carefully.
