If you are fine with 1gb for the heap size, I'd keep it at that.

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx1024M -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"

* Xms256m says to allocate a minimum of 256mb of heap from the get go
* Xms1024m allows the heap to grow to 1gb if needed
* PermSize is the minimum to start of with
* MaxPermSize is the maximum

While there is no rule of thumb because it depends on the application
the types of object that exist in the heap, I typically start with the
PermSize being about 1/4 of the size of the heap.  So for a heap of
512mb, a perm size of 128mb good and so forth.
