    This was a very informative presentation, particularly the slide illustrating the java memory structure - process heap, java object heap, perm gen, etc.

    Content of this session is very helpful for anyone who would be wanting to know more about the memory usage in JVM and its related issues.

    It would be good if the presentation slides can be made available as downloadable.
