I don't recall ever seeing a JDK1.2 process under 20MB, personally. (The very lightly-loaded Tomcat on my development machine right now is claiming 25MB of RAM.) The stripped 'java' executable alone is over 12MB (Linux/Blackdown JDK1.2.2RC4). I'd be very reluctant to run production Tomcat on a machine with less than 64MB of RAM. In short, if 4MB of RAM one way or the other is a problem for you, maybe you should steer clear of Java entirely. ;-) (Embedded Java is no doubt a completely different story...) - Tim
