1. -Xmx under other OSes (at least solaris and windows) defaults to
64M, where blackdown has set the default to 16M... I guess I've
actually got two questions about this:
A. why (in general) have a default limit at all - I assume
this parameter also affects GC thresholds, but shouldn't these be
separate from any heap limitation? I know, this isn't really
linux-specific, but I figure some of you may have some insight into
what exactly this parameter controls and why Sun defined it in this
way.
B. why lower the default limit to 16M? It seems a gratuitous
difference from the other ports with little actual benefit.
2. -Xrs is described as "reduc[ing] the use of operating system
signals." Does this have any effect under Linux? Can anyone comment
on what it actually does (or is supposed to do)?
thanks much,
-mik
