# -server
# Select the java HotSpot Server JVM
# The 64-bit version of the JDK support only the Server VM,
# so in that case the option is implicit
# ... so it's redundant to today's world but it make me feel good.

# -Xms/Xmx
# Xms Sets the initial size of the Heap
# Xmx sets the Maximum size of the Heap.

# Also called the low latency GC since pausing time is very short

# -XX:+UseParNewGC Potentially speed up your generation GC

# -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode
#
# I am not going to set this one but it's worthe mentioning
# It has been deprecated in Java 8. It is useful when you have 1 or 2
# CPU machine. It helps reduce latency by doing smaller garbage collections

# -CMSClassUnloadingEnabled
# In an old school java program classes are forever. But with
# Modern languages like Groovy... Classes are created at runtime, every
# scirpt may create a few new classes. With this set the PermGen space will
# Be garbage collecte3d. Without this you have a memory Leak.
#
# Must also have UseConcMarkSweepGC set for this to work.

# -java.security.egd
# This one is abit of a debate
# If you don't set this it will use /dev/random on startup
# which can block and make tomcat startup slower.
# But it's technically more secure... but no one has shown
# a way to break the results of urandom which is faster.
