Some reflexes remain for a lifetime. If you're concerned about the amount of memory used by your process, feel free to trim the heap back. Our application served thousands of requests per day on a 64MB heap for a long time before we had to bump it up. If you give Java room, it'll take it. If you constrain your heap, GCs will simply happen more frequently. If it takes a lot of time and memory to start up, but the steady-state behavior doesn't require too much memory, then a smaller heap might actually be a good idea. That will certainly leave more memory for other processes and make your 'top' output look less scary. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkcW+4ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDYVQCgwHTkd9AsrGT/wNP4y2ODhUwJ 89YAn0BldLa1hWtQ2BXwRLeL5m8hI71J =oPP+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
