Could you recommend settings for these two collectors that come wiht the SUN JVM? I would like to try these two collectors in my application running in JBoss1.5 and JDK1.6_30. I have four processors and about 16GB of total RAM so I am allocating a max heap of about 6GB.
What would ther be the best settings to take advantage of the ergonomics of the JVM? I am trying a few settings that minimize the promotion of objects to the tenured generation but I see very little promotion from the young to the tenured gens. I thoguht that it would be a good idea to promote more objects to tenure and take advantage of the CMS collector.
