I would guess  that such a MaxPermSize is not recommended - it is far  
too large.  I am a bit uncertain as to what the issue is here.  Are  
you getting OutOfMemory errors and if so what do they look like?  Do  
they mention the PermGen space?  Simply not using the memory may not  
be a problem.  Are you trying to reduce the amount of garbage  
collection that is occurring?

Setting the initial heap size with -Xms will give java the hint that  
you want to allocate more  space up front.  It is often recommended  
that the Xmx and Xms get set at the same time for the reason that  
Peris  gives below.  But this also makes java allocate space even if  
it doesn't need it.
