Howdy, Are you saying garbage collection never happens? Or that it never de-allocates anything? The overall resident process size will never decrease, only increase up to the limit you (sort of) specify using parameters like -Xmx. Java will allocate memory as needed up to that limit, and release it back to the heap (but not to the OS) during garbage collection.
Could it be that you simply need more than the default 64MB memory?
