Please read: http://satukubik.com/2009/01/06/java-tips-memory-optimization-for-string/

The conclusion I can get from your information is: You interned too many String. If you really need to intern so many String for performance optimization, increase the perm gen memory, but if I were you, I will check first if I really need so many interned String.
