Hi all, I running tomcat 4, beta 2 on a Red Hat 6.2 machine with 256 Meg of memory. JDK 1.3. I hooked to run with Apache, so that it's possible for apache to server jsp files. I had installed some memory in my system and was taking a look a how much memory was in use by various applications...Tomcat/the JVM was using 356 meg!!!! I change some of the settings usign the TOMCAT_OPTS variable to turn the max memory used down to 16 megs for the jvm and cut down the number of listener processes (4 for apache, 4 for tomcat) in both apache and tomcat. This cut it down to about 250 meg of memory usage between tomcat and jvm/java. This is still way higher than it should need to be. I've read all the docs I can find about optimization for tomcat (most of which are could be written better) and java/jvm. In my task list for linux it says there are 20 jdk/jvm processes related to tomcat, which seems really high also. This is just a machine for my own development and serving the small number of people that visit my website. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Any would be appreciated.
