I think you're confusing tenured with perm. Nothing is ever promoted to perm - only known long-lived objects (primarily instances of java.lang.Class) are allocated in there, and no objects ever migrate to or from perm space. Regular objects are normally allocated in eden space (young gen), and if they live long enough, are migrated to the tenured area (old gen) during a GC. Increasing the perm size actually reduces, not increases, the amount of eden space available since the total of all three generations (young, old, perm) must come from the -Xmx setting. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
