PermGen can steadily increase if there's something in your environment that creates new, typically anonymous, classes as part of its operation. PermGen will not decrease until a full GC occurs, which won't happen unless either the old gen or PermGen fills up (or a full GC is forced). Simple increased usage of PermGen is *not* necessarily indicative of a memory leak, but not returning to a stable value *after* a full GC would be. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
