Another myth that won't die. Although it was true in some pre-HotSpot JVMs that GC time was proportional to heap size, that has not been the case for some time. Rather, GC time in a modern JVM depends almost entirely on the number and size of live objects at the time of the collection. Regardless, make sure the maximum heap plus all the other process space (for all processes) and whatever the kernel needs doesn't exceed the RAM on the system; swapping during a GC is something you don't want to see. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
