Hi I haven't checked this on JBoss but this pattern is consistent with the heap usage patterns on other containers and application servers. It is due to the application server threads running in the background and the objects allocated/GC'd for that purpose. This is not something to be concerned about, unless the amount of heap in use increases over time (ie, look at the heap usage for each valley before/after GC activity and if this increases, then this could point to an application server/application leak). Also, 0-10Mb is not a particularly large delta so I would not be too concerned here. If it was going from 0-100+Mb then I would perform additional analysis.
Since this is JBoss, you may wish to look at the AppServer slimming/tuning wiki to see if there are any services you can turn off/remove. This will have an impact on performance, and probably also on the heap usage. Hope this helps.
