What qualifies as a tight heap and what qualifies as a significant increase? Usually when we see OOMEs we increase the allocation by 32MB and they go away. To return to the original question, is it generally better to custom-fit the RAM allocation (as we currently do) or to unilaterally set all instances to a higher amount that we know will not generate OOMEs, such as 512MB? -- Eric Robinson Disclaimer - June 20, 2010 This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for Tomcat Users List.
