Hi,

Bug 8009928 asks for a bigger default value for the JVM StringTableSize 
option to improve performance.  The current default is 1009.  Any 
suggestions on what would be a better default size?

Increasing the size improves performance but increases the StringTable 
size by 16 bytes on 64-bit systems, 8 bytes on 32-bit systems for every 
additional entry.  For example, changing the default size to 60013 
increases the String Table size by 460K on 32 bit systems.

Thanks!
Harold
