So speaking for myself, I am giving up my expectations of Sun supporting linux and am working on OSS implementations of java. If SUn does change their minds, I'll be happy to be pleasently surprised, but if not I hope to have an alternative to rely on.

Thanks for the info, but I'm still confused - even if top is lying to me about individual jvm mem usage, I think it's telling the truth about totol mem usage (at least thats my rough assessment by comparing it's numbers to hearing the hard disk churn swapping mem in/out). So why do I get these r
