The number of LOC has no bearing on how much memory something will consume. For all you know the service could just be poorly implemented.

This is true regarding heap space (you can allocate couple gigs in one line), but perm gen space and JIT space can also be significant in JVM case.

Permgen space doesn't exist in the JVM any longer.

And not sure what JIT space is.

I think the OP meant "Code Cache" when they said "JIT space".
