Chuck,
I can only speculate that reducing the size of the NewGen area (due to the larger value of NewRatio) forced more frequent collections of recently allocated objects, thereby eliminating some class object references. Without knowing a lot more about your applications and doing some detailed measurement, that has to be taken with a large chunk of salt.
Thank you for your thoughts. I am using a Quad 4 Mac OS X with a 1.4.2 JVM. Any recommendations for testing tools so I can monitor memory allocations, garbage collection and the like?
