title: Loading a large hprof into jhat
body: <p>I have a 6.5GB Hprof file that was dumped by a 64-bit JVM using the <code>-XX:-HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError</code> option. I have it sitting on a 16GB 64-bit machine, and am trying to get it into jhat, but it keeps running out of memory. I have tried passing in jvm args for minimum settings, but it rejects any minimum, and seems to run out of memory before hitting the maximum.</p>
  
  <p>It seems kind of silly that a jvm running out of memory dumps a heap so large that it can't be loaded on a box with twice as much ram. Are there any ways of getting this running, or possibly amortizing the analysis?</p>
