Not surprising - you'd have to be very unlucky to be right at the edge and see a lot of GC activity and be able to continue running. Usually you'll be over the edge a bit, encounter OOMEs, increase the heap significantly, and be well away from the frequent tight heap scenario. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
