True, RAM is relatively cheap, but servers are not. We like to stack as many instances of tomcat on a server as possible while maintaining good performance. Some of our 8-core 32GB servers have had up to 200 separate tomcat instances. Allowing tomcat to dynamically manage its own memory (i.e., using a low -Xms value) makes that possible. --Eric Disclaimer - February 22, 2012 This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for Tomcat Users List.
