there is a recorded webinar called "Inside the Java Virtual Machine" http://www.covalent.net/services/training/webinars.html
it's one hour spent demystifying all you need to know about the JVM memory usage, once you've understood that, you'll have a very different perspective on -Xmx

Hi, I have a new machine with 8G of RAM, running a 32 bit 2.6 kernel (CentOS 5). It is running an application inside 4.1.37 with Java 1.4.2. Given that we only have a 32 bit address space, is it fair to say that I can't use more than 2G of RAM for my Java virtual machine? I tried to prove this with: export CATALINA_OPTS="-server -Xms2512m -Xmx2512m" but so far I've not seen memory usage go over 1G. What's the best way to make to most of the RAM?
