Tuning java
Hi!
I am politely asking for help. I am running a class extending TimeTask, in order to schedule a task. If I am not misunderstanding anything, I see that the program allocates 11M in RAM memory. I think it is too much memory allocated!
Multiplying by 100 programs scheduled it gives more than 1GB!
I tried to use those options like -Xms, or -Xmx, but the program still allocates 11M, no matter the values I pass in those options. Am I missing something?
Thank you very very much for your help!

Well it does not take 11 MB to schedule a TimerTask.
We can all waste alot of time discussing this or you can just get a profiler and see what is actually going on.
Playing with memory switches at runtime will do NOTHING in terms of what memory your program actually requires. As you have already discovered.
I would help you correct your silly, false assumption, but I'm too busy kissing jverds @rse at the moment

Oi! It's way too early for this sort of mental imagery.

No it isn't. It's 3:15 in the afternoon. The ideal time to imagine such things. No, wait

Please, this is another thread. Try to be friendly, ok? As I am trying.
I am running in Solaris environment. To discover the memory usage I am executing the top command, that gives me those informations with those columns (PID USERNAME LWP PRI NICE SIZERES STATETIMECPU COMMAND)
I see that in the RES column the 11M value is being shown. Am I seeing wrongly?
Thank you for your help. Your comments will certainly be very appreciated.

No it isn't!
I even tried the -Xms and it didn't work.

Ok, thank you very much. I just wanted to confirm this fact.

You need a JAVA profiler to see what parts (Objects) of your program use what memory. The total is of no concern.
As I said before scheduling a task is not 11MB but there is some overhead and more importantly how large the rest of your program is.

This is my rude, sincere replying style, tuned for trolls. You don't get to switch it off and pretend you haven't been insulting toward members of the forum just because now you need some help. Did you try that restaurant experiment yet?

Thanks anyway for your sincerity.

Any time. See, this is the problem with your apparently sincere, rude approach. It alienates people. Had you not been so, I would happily have helped.
Call me an @sshole if you like, but I'm giving you a visible demonstration of what actually happens when you have that attitude. The guy on the other end of the phone, the waiters, the NetBeans team, the mechanic, whoever, will almost always act like this. Of course, in the end they'll have to help you (NB team aside) because they're paid to. But behind the scenes you're being treated with this contempt, and it'll be reflected in the quality or expediency of the help you're after
You could always apologise for being rude
LOL, this is all just too f***ing funny. He has the chutzpah to come back and ask for help?
Lesson learned: Be careful who you piss off, cuz you might need them someday.

Guy I used to work with was once on his way to an interview. He stopped at the motorway services for a toilet break, and got into a minor argument with some guy taking "too long" at the hand drier
Guess who was interviewing him.....
