Linux always allocates more virtual space than is actually used (thread stack space, for example). The JVM will also reserve, but not commit, the -Xmx size of the heap (and other spaces); it only commits what is really needed. > My understanding is that RES=CODE+DATA and VIRT=RES+SWAP. Nope. RES is real memory usage, VIRT is just whatever space has been allocated, but not necessarily touched. Until a page is touched, it won't exist in RAM or on the swap file. > 2. Where does the 64MB of java heap show up? Buried inside the VIRT number. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
