Problem involving Java Runtime Environment and Memory Usage?

Question

I have an application that uses the Java Runtime Environment, and is intended to run with the environment at roughly 35,000k memory usage with it. However, instead the application runs javaw.exe at roughly 80,000k memory usage (making the application run very poorly).

I have isolated the problem into being caused by the application or Java itself. While I have not fully isolated the problem from being the application, it is a very unlikely possibility. To resolve the problem I have restarted the computer, reinstalled the current environment, and tried using several different runtime releases (such as the latest, and several past stable releases), but the problem persists.

How would I resolve this problem so that the application runs at the intended speed?

Answer 1

Install the newest version and open the Java console. I think there's a setting in there that you can limit the memory or cache usage.
