Static methods and static variables are loaded when the class is loaded. This means both go on the heap. Right?

How about local variables in static methods? Is a stack frame generated for static methods? Why else do they not get default values? (I'm not a CS major )

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
