Caught one of my own flaws in that one right after I sent it. Total memory - free memory is what's actually being used. Total is what's been reserved before. If free memory goes to zero, the jvm adds memory to the total up to max memory. If you're worried about memory consumption, just watch total as it compares to max. In your case you aren't even using 10% the max.
