Assuming you are getting the 7200k from Windoze task manager, the main problem is that this tool is inaccurate at best. About the most you can use it for is relative memory useage - increase your -Xms param and see if it at least changes your memory (not conclusive, but could at least tell you that you are changing something!) drfish -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
