> I'm not sure if this is JVM specific behavior, but I suspect the way we compute when to log "Running low on memory" could be improved.
> Currently we use {{Runtime.getRuntime()}} and rely on the formula {{freeMemory() < maxMemory() * 0.05}} to determine whether or not to log the warning. With Oracle's HotSpot VM, {{freeMemory()}} appears to return the amount of free memory relative to the current JVM heap size (as returned by {{totalMemory()}}. If {{totalMemory()}} != {{maxMemory()}} then this warning will start appearing before I think it was intended to which is misleading.
> Easiest workaround is to configure the JVM heap to have the min size = max size.
