Tekkit Server Memory

[Respawn]

Hey. Just want to find out whats the normal memory usage is for a normal tekkit server.

[Backplague]

It defaults at 1 gig, but the recommended amount is 3-6 gigs.

[Respawn]

ow no i don't mean to host a server. Im not sure how to put it. lol

Well We have a server but its taking up 10.8% up to 17.5% of the servers memory.

I just want to know if that is normal or if we have a memory leak.

[Backplague]

If you are using the normal unmodified Tekkit server, it will use 1 gig of your memory. If ~15% of your memory is 1 gig, your server may be problems with the memory. You may need to get more memory, the server software should not have any memory leaks.

[Respawn]

we are runing the server with 8gig with around 75 to 100 players.

[Backplague]

Then there should be no problems running the server unless you have given the server an insufficient amount of memory.

1 gig? damn.. I had hoped my server ran with that amount. I have 8GB available, and tekkit just eats up at least 2.5GB within minutes (heap size), even though I have some aggressive java garbage collection on it, guess that's the consequences og having multiple worlds.

My server uses about 500-600Mb of RAM even when nobody's online. It's a pretty huge world though, and I'm using Dynmap. With 2-3 people online it goes to 1.1Gb and above, easily.
