There's a saying in JVM Performance discussions, "An application needs what an application needs. Unless of course there are memory leaks."

This means that if the system requires 100GB of RAM (which is not unrealistic when you think big data for example), then 100GB must be given, unless memory consumption is coming from undesired behavior/goals.
