Those memory footprint improvements in JDK 18

[Stefan Reich]

I'm right now just trying to get over how amazing this graph is:
https://tschatzl.github.io/2022/03/14/jdk18-g1-parallel-gc-changes.html

35-40% savings in memory use just by using JDK 18??? Who would have
expected such a major improvement after 17 iterations of the language!

Just so I'm sure I'm reading it correctly... the graph basically shows the
Java heap's memory footprint in terms of committed native memory. Right?

So it would include Eden, tenured generations, humongous objects, but not
metadata and code. Is that correct?

Basically tell me how much I should celebrate this. lol

I did switch another small, pretty crammed (8 GB RAM) server over to JDK 18
and it does feel like there's a lot more memory available on it now and
everything is a lot faster too.

Cheers
Stefan
