Tomcat Memory Optimization

Q.
Do you know how to optimize memory for Tomcat v4.x? There is a parameter called JAVA_OPTS in the CATALINA.BAT file, but I am not sure I am doing the right thing. I would like to do something like -Xm commands with Tomcat 3.

Dear Hangin': You may not realize this, but it is the same for Tomcat v4 as it is for Tomcat v3. The -Xms -Xmx are Java settings and are not Tomcat settings. It tells Java to reserve memory for the Java application (in this case, Tomcat v4).
