Nope. Steve's equation is right - but total memory is not a constant.
Total memory refers to the total heap size currently allocated to the JVM. This can and does change over time , if the application attempts to use more memory, and the JVM has not yet used its allowed maximum. That's why there's a difference between the -ms and -mx options when invoking the JVM.
