In a word, no. On most JVMs, once the virtual memory for the heap is allocated due to peak load, it stays allocated. However, you didn't tell us if you're looking at real or virtual memory numbers; the real memory can fluctuate simply because the OS chooses to page some of it out. You also didn't bother to tell us the JDK and OS you're using (likely some form of Windows), and your're running on an unsupported version of Tomcat. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
