[jboss-user] [JBoss Cache: Core Edition] - Re: huge memory usage problem

There is a lot of overhead in maintaining the tree structure. The overhead varies with the type of data stored, and if you have a lot of small key/value pairs then the overhead increases quite significantly. This is one of the motivations for starting the Infinispan [1] project. One thing you could do is if you are using pessimistic locking, switch to MVCC which reduces the number of locks created and hence memory overhead.
