I'd agree to that, however, somehow it suprises me that almost 1/2 a
GB is used for native, gc, threads & stuff - wasn't aware that it is
that much, specifically, that the memory-usage of said components
seems to be increasing even further when enhancing Xmx / Xmx.

Example:

When using Xms/Xmx = 512M, MaxpermSize=384M, then the overall
footprint is a bit less than 1GB

When using Xmx/Xmx=1GB, MaxpermSize=384M, the overall footprint is 1.6GB.

That means, for those "administrative" stuff in the first example less
than 100M is used, but in the 2nd example it's more than double the
size - is such a common behaviour?
