I am also just curious how much active heap you are really using.
From the previous heapdumps the script generated, what size are
these? Was there a reason you needed a huge heap like 25GB?
Yes. In another thread, the OP stated that they store insane amounts
of stuff (like 10MiB+ worth) in sessions and need to support many
simultaneous sessions (the example was 3000).
The worst part about a heap dump like that is that it generates an
enormous file when the JVM crashes.
I know that this has nothing to do directly with the issue at hand, but I must say that
ever since I saw that post, I have been wondering about the real need to keep such huge
amount of data in memory "for efficiency".
I make no judgment in advance, but when I am told something like that by one of our junior
programmers, instinctively this triggers a reaction in me to dig further.
Intuitively, the overhead of starting 3000 such sessions and just loading that data 3000
times should tend to negate any later efficiency advantage, no ?
