I can only speculate that reducing the size of the NewGen area (due to the larger value of NewRatio) forced more frequent collections of recently allocated objects, thereby eliminating some class object references. Without knowing a lot more about your applications and doing some detailed measurement, that has to be taken with a large chunk of salt. By the way, the default value of NewRatio in the 1.5 JVM is platform dependent: -client mode IA32 12 Sparc 8 -server mode IA32 8 IA64 2 AMD64 2 Sparc 2 - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
