Hello Gabriel, Thank you for your response. I doubt it's the GC, for memory usage jumps = to those values right after the VM starts, i.e. when there's not much to = garbage collect yet. Also, it says around those figures for the rest of = the program's lifetime. This is a console application, by the way. What I'd like to know is whether IBM's implementation of the JVM happens = to use a little less memory. I think 203 MB is too much for a console = application, and that box only has 64 MB of RAM. I did install = linux-ibm-jdk14 to check this myself, but found out it requires the = USER_LDT setting in the kernel, and I can't reboot because of a stupid = setting since I'm running important services on the box. Any linux-ibm-jdk14 fans out there?

Are you sure this isn't just some Garbage collector behaving differently? Best regards, Gabriel
