I knew java was inefficient, but not THIS inefficient

WTF, Java!? Why you gotta be all like eatin up 16 MILLION TERABYTES n'shiet!?

OS X is handling this millions of terabytes of virtual memory like a champ. Go Apple. You guys rock.

I shudder to think what would have happened if my Vista machine had 16 million terabytes of virtual memory. My house would burn down or something. I can't even open Paint without Vista halfway ruining my life.

Go Garry, I'm digging your MS-bashing ways. It's the path to righteousness.

What Java app are you running? That's insane. (These days, most of the time if a Java app is behaving badly, it's because the programmers of said app are Doing It Wrong(tm))

How can anything virtually consume enough TBs to feed a 3rd world nation? I am confused.

It was probably just a bug in Apple. But I used it as an opportunity to bash Microsoft. Hooray!

I'm trying hard to restrain myself from taking your post as a generalized statement about java being inefficient. I'll just assume the post is about a poorly written java app.

Probably just a bug in vm usage reporting in activity monitor in os x.
