In top, my java processes all show an average VIRT size of about 250MB and an average RES size of about 150MB. Most of them were started with a 64MB heap size. I have two questions:
1. Top shows 0k of swap usage, so the system is not swapping. In that case, why is there a difference between the VIRT and RES numbers? My understanding is that RES=CODE+DATA and VIRT=RES+SWAP. If swap=0, then should not RES and VIRT be the same? 2. Where does the 64MB of java heap show up? -- Eric Robinson Disclaimer - June 22, 2010 This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for Tomcat Users List.
