Ah, yes, I addressed only -Xmx. For -Xms, you could try this. Throw a typical load at your app. and monitor it until memory use seems to be fairly stable. Round that up to a convenient number and use that for -Xms. That way, your app. should not have to ask for more until the load goes above typical, meaning rarely.
-Xmx is useful mainly to keep your app. from starving other critical memory users, such as disk I/O, and staving off swapping. Set it anywhere from a low multiple of -Xms to as much as you don't want to reserve for system caches and any other app.s you need to run regularly. Again, you either know all about your system and can calculate this already, or you pick any non-ridiculous number and measure/adjust until you are satisfied. -- Mark H. Wood, Lead System Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Typically when a software vendor says that a product is "intuitive" he means the exact opposite.
