FWIW -verbose:gc gives some reasonable summary information, but much more is available. I suggest using a combination of the following to explore further what's happening in the GC events:
-XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintHeapAtGC \ -XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution Also, note that -client and -server JVMs use different default heap parameters. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
