He Chuck, Because I think the old gen is still filled also the 70% is reached. The jvm will do a garbage collect to free up memory for the old gen so i think there will be more and more garbage collections to achieve the 70%. I think there also a lot of unused stuff in the old gen (otherwise a full gc() wont release that much) that can be cleared so that I have more memory left.

Why do you think this is a problem? This is how the HotSpot GC is designed to work. A full GC - one that collects the old gen - is not done until absolutely necessary or an explicit call to gc() is made. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
