Re: Memory utilization

I ran the very same experiment and I am enclosing the image of the NetBeans profiler having captured the memory utilized. The heap utilization by the program was around 600MB but the memory used by the data that I use is around 150MB. So how does it manifest itself as 4 times the amount of heap memory consumed? 

Thanks
