    150 MB isn't too much on machine with 4 GB or more RAM, but 10 such Java applications will use 1500 MB of private memory which is ridiculous compared to 50 MB with 10 C++ applications.
    I thought they fixed this years ago like around v1.4 or v1.5? (I'm referring to sharing common JVM libraries and classes between ten Java applications.)

    Anyway, there are ways to get around that if the programmer needs to. After all, JVMs were created even for small embedded devices where RAM is a premium.

      jar files are mmapped, but it isn't enough as memory usage is growing from 70 MB after startup to 300 MB by clicking on parts of very simple GUI without reason.

        Well there has to be a reason.

          Some sharing doesn't work automatically. I have force it with -Xshare: on (without space). Now memory usage grows to 110 MB, which is still too much for Hello World class application.

            Well I agree you wouldn't use Java to write a simple Hello World type application.

            But, e.g., a Java app on my Android phone doesn't use that much RAM.

              Java on Android is probably memory optimized unlike stupid Java on Linux.

                one of the c# niceties I'd like to see are those async constructs. They're also available in Vala if I'm not mistaken. Microsoft forces developers to use async method calls in the RT API so that apps are more responsive. I believe it's the right decision.

                  I think there is something wrong with your system. I don't see nearly that much RAM consumed.

                  Code:
                  public class HelloWorld {
                  
                      public HelloWorld () {
                          System.out.println("Hello World!");
                      }
                  
                      public static void main(final String[] args) {
                          HelloWorld hw = new HelloWorld();
                      }
                  }
                  Code:

                    I compared simple GUI applications, not Hello World console examples.

                      Here is a Swing based Hello World then. I still don't see nearly the RAM usage that you claim.

                      Code:
                      import java.awt.BorderLayout;
                      import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
                      import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
                      import javax.swing.JFrame;
                      import javax.swing.JTextArea;
                      
                      public class HelloWorld {
                      
                          public HelloWorld () {
                              JFrame gui = new JFrame();
                              JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
                              textArea.setColumns(20);
                              textArea.setRows(5);
                              textArea.append("Hello World");
                              gui.setTitle("Hello World");
                              gui.add(textArea, BorderLayout.CENTER);
                              gui.pack();
                              gui.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
                                  public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
                                      System.exit(0);
                                  }
                              });
                              gui.setVisible(true);
                          }
                      
                          public static void main(final String[] args) {
                              HelloWorld hw = new HelloWorld();
                          }
                      }
