IDPV2 / IDPV3 Memory suggestions?

[Jim Fox]

FWIW.  I was investigating heap usage in idpv3 and, with this configuration:

64-bit machine,
2 processors,
G1 garbage collector,
-Xms1G -Xmx1G,

I could maintain a load of about 4-5 logins/sec and still process reloads of InCommon metadata.


Memory is easy enough to come by, so in production I'll probably run with -Xms3g -Xmx3g,
but I like the G1 collector.  It is a lot more flexible with eden and old spaces.
