[oXygen-user] RAM settings for oXygen JVM

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Adrian Buza)]

Hi Wendell,

-Xmx4096m (4GB) for a system with 16GB RAM is fine. Make sure you have 
installed the 64-bit edition of Oxygen.
Generally speaking when increasing the memory available for Oxygen, we 
recommend using less than half of the system memory.

The memory you allow Oxygen to use does matter if you have other memory 
intensive applications. The Java virtual machine that Oxygen uses is 
rather memory greedy, so sooner rather than later it will end up 
allocating that 4GB of heap memory that you allow it to use and it will 
keep it allocated for the duration of the Oxygen session.

Regards,
Adrian
