How to persist every new entity?

I expect every instantiated entity to correspond to a tuple (& co) in the database.

JPA GeneratedValue with GenerationType.TABLE does a big jump after jvm restart

When I start my server and add an entry, the generated id will start with 1, 2, so on and so forth. After a restart, adding an entry would generate an id like 32,xxx.

What's the reason behind the jumping GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.TABLE) when not specifying a @TableGenerator?

Why do I need to add allocationSize=1 when using the @TableGenerator to ensure that the id wouldn't jump from 1, 2,... to 32,xxx, 65,xxx,... after a jvm restart?
