Tomcat memory usage
- by Adrian Mester
I'm running tomcat on a ubuntu 10.4 VPS with 512MB of RAM (1024 burstable). I'm using it for development, so performance isn't an issue, but memory is.
Tomcat is currently using about 250MB without any apps installed (I compared memory usage with tomcat stopped and running), and I also need to run lighttpd and mysql.
Is there any way to get that number down? I don't need it to be able to handle a large number of requests at once.
