128MB was the total RAM in the VPS including OS + nginx + JVM + Postgresql. The heap allocated to the JVM process was about 64MB, but bear in mind that this was an actual application. So, it's hard to do a detailed comparison between JVM and Go without standardising on the application. All that I am claiming is that JVM is in the same ball park.

It's not in the same ballpark. I'll throw some code up when I get a chance.

Edit: do you have a twitter or Reddit account? I'll ping you when I have code examples if you want.
