Scanning Google results suggests that the answer is that the tenured
heap section is 40 megabytes. The permanent generation is apparently
entirely separate from the standard garbage-collected heap.
But, I can't find anyone who says this straight-out. I could be wrong.

Thanks, thats also how I interpertted the posts I found on other
sites.
My next question that I'm unable to come to a clear conclusion on is
how the Survivor Spaces work and how their size effects performance.
I don't understand why you would have such a disparity in the size of
eden and the two survivor spaces. Any ideas?

I don't know, so I'll drop out and hope someone else pops in with this
knowledge. Anyone?
