Thank you Chuck, you are right. But for me, that remains a big problem (and I read about it many times in VPS forums too): How to restrict the process size of tomcat?
If I stop tomcat and measure the free memory (on a VPS that's not easy at all, see http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showpost.php?p=4851698&postcount=6): Used memory = 86m After I started tomcat (with my single webapp and heap restricted to 64m): Used memory = 365m That's 280m -> more as four times of the heap size restriction! I never saw this behavior at any other java program. Do you have a hint to restrict/reduce the overall process memory tomcat uses.

You're confusing heap size (-Xmx) with total process space. The total process space includes many other things besides the JVM heap, such as code banks, stacks, internal JVM structures, OS-related structures, etc. Even so, 138M is pretty tiny, these days. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
