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. -- jhwilliams _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
