The figure I got was 842MB. > I wonder were this number came from. To quote from the Sun JVM 6 initialization code: // If the maximum heap size has not been set with -Xmx, // then set it as fraction of the size of physical memory, // respecting the maximum and minimum sizes of the heap. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
