[jetty-users] Jetty9 heap bigger than -Xmx

[Otis Gospodnetić <otis.gospodnetic@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

We are using default Jetty 9 (v20150730) and Tomcat (v8) setup with the same war file behind the same ELB and see that memory consumption is very different.

Jetty uses much more memory than what's specified in -Xmx.

Any idea why that is and whether it can be changed?

This is on Java8.

For example, have a look at this:

https://apps.sematext.com/spm-reports/s/Wjex4aHtPf 

spm-reports1 machine is running Tomcat

spm-reports2 is running Jetty9 (v20150730)

Is there anything we should look into to lower the Jetty 9 memory footprint?

Thanks,

Otis
