That would be very convenient indeed.

I am preparing a catalogue of Arabic manuscripts for a large library. I 
do the initial editing in small batches but later everything is merged 
together in one file, whose size is currently approaching 1MB (i.e. 850 
000 UTF-8 characters). About 20% of its content is in Arabic.

I have modified the oxygen.sh script to start Oxygen with -Xmx512m (i.e. 
twice as much memory as the default), and on my Linux machine everything 
is running very smoothly up to now. If you want I can do some testing 
with large bidi documents once you have "unlocked" the BIDI limit.

Thanks,
François
