I am trying to run tomcat on a low memory system (150-256Mb). Even though I start the JVM with -Xmx64m (which should be the default anyway), the process immediately takes up 200Mb+.
I wonder why the JVM needs so much memory itself, or if there is a way of tuning this? Are other JVMs better than the sun one for low memory consumption - and do they work with tomcat?
