I understand.
The webapp is a content management site which has been producing out of memory errors.
The server has 16GB RAM which is quite significant.
Curious:are there any other adantages to setting them the same?
I'm assuming that
going from:
-Xms512 -Xmx1024
to
-Xms512 -Xmx2048
is less desirable than
-Xms512 -Xmx1024
to
-Xms2048 -Xmx2048
?
Understandable this may not apply in every case

You really need to do more research on your own:
-Xms = set initial Java heap size
-Xmx = set maximum Java heap size
If you are currently allocating 1GB (-Xmx1024), then you probably want
to set it to something /bigger/ than 1GB. Perhaps 1.5GB:
-Xmx1536
Upon the recommendation of another poster, you might want to set the
initial and the maximum to the same thing (that will allocate the entire
Java heap at once, instead of forcing the memory manager to grow the
heap during runtime):
-Xms1536 -Xmx1536
It's up to you to decide what your heap size should be. You need to
understand the operation and needs of your application, as well as
pattern of usage by your users to choose a good heap size. You can
certainly allocate a HUGE heap and cross your fingers, but that is not
always a good strategy -- especially when you are limited by physical
RAM as well as the other processes running on your server.
Hope that helps,
