We faced this problem some time back. The memory usage seemed to increase to the point where no other application could be started. Many times we had to restart the NT machine itself. We did a thorough code-review and fixed the leaks. But even after that the Tomcat memory usage kept on increasing, although it came down, all of a sudden, to a very low value (600K). So garbage collection is being done more frequently, I would say. When there are more users connected to the Web server and accessing the Servlets/JSPs, the memory usage keeps on increasing... just to give numbers... we accessed our Web application using 50+ instances of browsers (IE, Netscape) and the memory shot to 200M. After some time (not immediately) when we stopped accessing the Web server it came down to 24M. You can find more pointers on JDC at http://java.sun.com. I remember discussing this topic there.
