Laurent, The autowarmCounts look biggest, but they are probably not causing OOMs. Maybe you can see how big the caches are right before you OOM. Or you can also start the JVM with -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError and even specify the file where the heap should be dumped. You can then analyze it and see what's eating the memory.
