I hope you can be interested in a use case: imagine the poor man developing
the GWT UI for a web application. His memory should be enough for the
following JVM instances:
- the IDE (i.e. STS with its great Gradle integration)
- the Gradle daemon (at least for the IDE)
- an Apache Tomcat
- the GWT DevMode for java-to-js on the fly translation

With huge xmx/maxpermsize defaults the poor man (me) ends up swapping all
the time, even with 4GB of ram!!!
Just my two cents
