Not true. The time of a full GC using modern algorithms depends mostly on the number and type of live objects, not the amount of heap space. The number and type of live (reachable) objects stays relatively constant for most application once the ramp-up period is over. Consequently, running a single JVM with the largest heap you can fit in the process space is the most efficient from a GC point of view. (Of course, there are plenty of other reasons not to put all your eggs in one basket.) - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
