Apr 19, 2011 at 21:38	comment	added	fiacobelli		Ok. So, I couldn't reproduce my earlier results about implementing the Serializable interface, so I will cross out that part of the post. It may have been JVM mixup with tijmp. However, it still stands that for some reason tjimp still reports char[] coming from Serializable and Cloneable that grow without control. This happens even after I got rid of the HashMap altogether and used double[][] and String[] objects. My class is not implementing Serializable per se, but tijmp reports that something is, and is using a lot of memory. Any help is appreciated.

Apr 19, 2011 at 17:47	comment	added	Spike Gronim		Please post the tests that show that Serializable increases memory footprint. If you could post the code that shows much RAM your Map<String,double[]> is using that would help too.
