I've just dug through the 1.5 code and found that the use of 1/4 of the
total physical memory is dependant on several other factors, such as the
category of machine and whether or not parallel GC is enabled.  If
running on a "server class machine", then parallel GC is enabled if not
explicitly disabled or implicitly disabled by specifying other options
such as -Xrun.  A "server class machine" is currently defined to be one
with at least two physical 64-bit CPUs (or 32-bit CPUs with -server set)
and 2 GB of memory.  If those conditions (along with some other esoteric
ones) are not met, the defaults are as they were in 1.4.
