I believe the default maxperm size for sun jvm is 64MB. I ran into the same problem, when spawning additional threads, and too increased the maxperm to 256MB. that allows me to spawn up to 3,000 threads. I prefer to spawn all the threads at startup rather then have tomcat spawn threads as it needs them. my heap is set to 800MB for tomcat. the systems have between 2GB and 3GB of ram each. been running for ages without any problems. never had an out of memory message from tomcat(with the exceptions of when I was testing in a test enviornment with thread settings) running tomcat 4.0.6. Tried going to 4.1.27 but behavior was significantly worse than with 4.0.6 for the stuff I am using it with. running sun java 1.3_9 or something. have never run out of heap either. still looking for further tips/docs on how to optimize thread usage further. nate --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
