Success: optimizing the Etherpad Java VM

After weeks of tweeking i finally found an environment that works smoothly

2GB VM

I kept my ${MXRAM} at 1800M

$JAVA -classpath $CP \

-server \

-Xmx${MXRAM} \

-Xms${MXRAM} \

-Djava.awt.headless=true \

-XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=500 \

-XX:+UseParallelGC \

-Dappjet.jmxremote=true \

$JAVA_OPTS \

net.appjet.oui.main \

–configFile=${cfg_file} \

“$@”

Note the lack of logging etc.

Thanks for this. I’m new to the JVM and Etherpad. I was wondering, why did you pick -XX:+UseParallelGC instead of the Etherpad default -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC?

Thanks!
