Yes, it goes along with subject called Garbage collection and tuning. This area is a huge, sometimes very quick to tune, and sometimes gives a nightmare to tune those properties. The nature of this subject grows based on your application, servers and expectations from user end.

When I run Tomcat 5.0.18, my java.exe starts with ~65MB. Then as my websites get hits, java.exe starts increasing. I run tomcat with the -Xms128m -Xmx256m options. So the startup heap size of tomcat is 128MB. After my first start, I usually have around 80 MB free memory for Tomcat. My question is, why is the startup java.exe size is smaller than my total heap size? Does the size of java.exe grow as the heap starts being used. I would expect java.exe to be at least 128 MB (plus the JVM memory) since that is how much is allocated.
