Comment (by simonmar):
I'm guessing Java -server, and Scala, which also uses Java -server, uses
quite aggressive heap settings, using more memory (they both use over
500M). Whereas we opt for more a conservative policy by default, to use
less memory. You could probably argue that `-server` is a GC setting :-)
