Gabriele,
the PermGenSpace contains the classes, configurations, data etc.i.e. the
program, the heap which you define with -Xmx and -Xmx contains the objects
at runtime i.e. the working program and is separate from the permanent
space. The classes or templates for the objects are taken from the
permanent space and put onto the heap filled with the relevant values at
runtime and continually created with new values and destroyed if not needed
anymore. Please see:

for a detailed description.
You might as well start with a decent perm size.
-XX:PermSize=96m
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m
-server has implicitly a MaxPermSpace=64m, if you do not change it.
Cheers
