We ran into similar issues when first starting to use JCS. The underlying issue for us was that the remote cache uses RMI calls. When RMI is in use, the JVM may automatically trigger full GC's every 60 seconds as the default; at least under our JDK 1.3.1...not sure about JDK 1.5 but I believe they may have changed this to the values I will list below in the JVM parameters that we added...you can tell by examining the GC consecutive cycles...if they are exactly 60 seconds apart, every 60 seconds, then if you add the parameters below you may see an improvement:
-Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.transport.tcp.connectionPool=true Hope this helps.

This uses the latest JCS jcs-1.2.7.9.2.jar in JDK1.5. After starting the times for a "Full" grabage collection get longer and longer. Eventually after about 10-12 days I need to restart the remote cache. Also when the full garbage collection runs it uses more and more CPU. Memory usage remains fairly constant (round 600M), and the incremental collections are fairly small 0.02 secs. I wonder if anyone these has seen the same thing, or has any better suggestions for the garbage collection.
