That's 99% used of what's allocated, not the maximum - 99% is a good thing (high efficiency). I'd be more concerned about Instance 2, where PermGen expanded to 86MB at one point. > However, I would have thought that it would have the same > size as instance 2.

Nothing unusual is going on. > I didn't think that the PermGen grew or shrunk over time. You thought wrong. There are parameters for both initial and maximum PermGen size; unless they're explicitly set to the same value, PermGen will expand and contract, just like the Java heap. It's often more illuminating to use JConsole or JVisualVM to monitor heap and PermGen usage over a significant time period, rather than looking at snapshots. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
