Take a look at something like Azureus, or Eclipse - Java doesn't win
any prizes in the memory footprint stakes. 

I've rarely seen any Java application (server or client side) that
doesn't have bloat issues. In fact I don't think I've ever seen a
genuinely lean Java app. Especially when profiling peak memory usage.

I wouldn't mind a Java slimserver for the same reasons (more accessible
to me), but I doubt it would solve the memory usage issues.
