The -Xmx parm on the java command controls the max memory allocation for the
JVM.

The -Xms parm controls garbage collection interval, which is different from
some other platforms on which it controls the minimum memory allocation. Not
specifying anything for -Xms will default to garbage collect every 2MB of
objects allocated. This can really burn some CPU by running GC very
frequently. You don't want to go too high either. You probably want
something like -Xms32m for a uniprocessor iSeries.
