For reference, our DSpace has 50,000 items and runs on a server with 8GiB of RAM. Right now our Tomcat's JAVA_OPTS are the following:
-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xms4096m -Xmx4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+UseG1GC And I just checked our JVM heap usage from the system's munin graphs and it looks like we are only using 2GiB, so I'm actually wasting RAM (the OS could be using it for caches, but also it causes overhead for Java's garbage collection)! I'll adjust that to something like 3GiB next time I re-deploy. Also, I am using the new G1GC garbage collector (well, new in Java 7 several years ago) but I should perhaps switch back to the default, as that was a case of pre-mature optimization.
