-XX:+UseThreadPriorities
Use native thread priorities.
-XX:+UseVMInterruptibleIO
Thread interrupt before or with EINTR for I/O operations results in OS_INTRPT. (Introduced in 6. Relevant to Solaris only.)

-XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=70
Maximum percentage of heap free after GC to avoid shrinking.
-XX:MaxNewSize=size

-XX:MaxPermSize=64m
Size of the Permanent Generation.聽 [5.0 and newer: 64 bit VMs are scaled 30% larger; 1.4 amd64: 96m; 1.3.1 -client: 32m.]
-XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=40
Minimum percentage of heap free after GC to avoid expansion.
-XX:NewRatio=2
Ratio of new/old generation sizes. [Sparc -client: 8; x86 -server: 8; x86 -client: 12.]-client: 4 (1.3) 8 (1.3.1+), x86: 12]
-XX:NewSize=2.125m
