[oXygen-user] Faster Oxygen Editor on Linux?

[Adrian Buza]

Hello Sascha,

There is a topic on our forum that discusses ways to reduce the memory 
footprint without affecting the Oxygen performance:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic6275.html

You could try the same settings described there:
-XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=40
-XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=20
These arguments make the JVM more dynamic with regard to freeing unused 
heap back to the OS.

If you are launching Oxygen with the 'oxygen' script or the Desktop 
shortcuts, add these arguments to the 'oxygen.vmoptions' file from the 
Oxygen installation directory.
If you are using the 'oxygen.sh' startup script, you should add these 
arguments to the command at the end of the script.

As George explained, reducing the amount of memory available to Oxygen 
may actually decrease performance. I can only recommend this if you are 
only editing small files in Oxygen. If you want to do this anyway, you 
can adjust the -Xmx argument to a lower value(e.g. -Xmx512m) in the 
files described above: 'oxygen.vmoptions'/'oxygen.sh'.

Let us know if you need additional assistance.

Regards,
Adrian
