Too much ram used!

Our applet has a size of 200kB aproximately, but when it is loaded in the client, it consumes something like 70MB of ram memory. Besides every time we reload it, the consumption increments by 10MB aprox. Is this behavior normal? Does exist maybe some programming tip or technique (we do not know yet) to avoid this excesively high ram consumption?

I guess the 200 KB is the size of your jar and 70 MB is the memory usage of the JVM. Maybe you are doing some task requiring a bunch of memory (e.g. image manipulations) and then it's OK.

Play with the Java Control Panel options to see memory usage and run garbage collection...
