Pretty normal, yes. You can affect that number using command line directives:
$ java -Xms64m -Xmx128m blah where -Xms specifies the intial heap size, and -Xmx specifies the max. You would have to alter the startup script to make this effective. Typically you only want to use -Xms if you *know* you will exceed the default initial heap size (no clue what that is, arch dependent); and you only really use -Xmx if you want to impose a more arbitrary upper limit (i.e. "please do not use up all resources on my server before crashing and burning...."). jeff Yaogeng Cheng wrote: > Jeff: > > Thanks for the replying.
