There is a nice GUI to analyse it http://www.tagtraum.com/gcviewer.html http://www.tagtraum.com/gcviewer.html If there is no application memory leak you might check whether a different strategy of GC help. For our application we switch to CMS with : -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode -XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing -XX:CMSIncrementalDutyCycleMin=0 -XX:CMSIncrementalDutyCycle=10 -XX:NewRatio=1 -XX:SurvivorRatio=20 Also in this case we set the YoungGen=1400M and OldGen=600M to ensure that the old generation must never have an full-gc, all objects are dead before moved to ldGen. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/572018#572018] Start a new discussion in Performance Tuning at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
