Loading a class increases allocated memory by 6Mb !

Asked by finaris in New to Java Programming, Java Standard Edition, J2EE

Tags: Class Loader, Java, J2SE, Performace

Hi all,

While analyzing the memory consume of my Java Programm, i remarked that the allocated memory space increases by 6 Mb while
instantiating an object from a class.
The space increases excactly when the JVM tries to load the class by invoking the <i>loadclass<i> method.
the loaded class is a simple class with few methods an variables, hence i cannot understand why the JVM needs 6 Mb to load it !
Can anyone give me a tip ??

Thank you in advance.
