For example, it's a fairly trivial matter to change the default MaxPermSize in hotspot/src/cpu/x86/vm/c2_globals_x86.hpp from the current define_pd_global(uintx, MaxPermSize, ScaleForWordSize(64*M)); to something more suitable. Linux doesn't actually allocate memory until it's used, so I'm not convinced that the "keep the limit small for users with small memory" actually applies. So, why don't I just patch IcedTea to use your values as defaults? You can then try the resulting IcedTea, make dure it works, and it'll be in the next IcedTea release. If anyone screams we can always change the default back down again, but I doubt very much it'll ever happen.
