Having an excessively large heap does not hurt, as long as it's not so large compared to available RAM that it pushes the environment into paging. GC times are not affected by the size of the heap, just the number of live objects present in the heap. Being able to run the apps in a smaller heap does allow you to deploy on a cost-reduced platform, but that's about all. If the JVM is the sole application on the box, you might as well give it as much RAM as you've got (unless you want to run with compressed object pointers). - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
