I asked this same question Cameron Purdy, CEO of Tangosol (maker of a
leading Java cache product) this question during the TheServerSide this
year.
His business is all about optimal use of the allocated heap space, and that
His recommendation was to use up to 512 MB of heap space to minimize
more severe garbage collection pauses.
I think that this article Java 5.0 JVM tuning
<http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc5.0/gc_tuning_5.html> can help you
answer what is the optimal use.
