Hello - what is a large amount of memory, how do you determine it (make sure
you look at RES, not VIRT) and what are your JVM settings.
It is not uncommon for programs to allocate much memory if the default max heap
is used, 2 GB in my case. If your JVM eats too much, limit it by setting Xmx to
a lower level.
