If the memory usage is rising dramatically or the browser session stops responding to your actions, you may need to increase your Java Heap size for your client.- Open Java plug-in in the Control Panel.
- Click the Java tab.
- Click View inside the Java Applet Runtime Settings group box.
- Select the row of the current Java version you are running and type
-Xmx<size>m
in the Java Runtime Parameters column. For example, type -Xmx300m
if you want to increase the Java Heap size to a maximum of 300MB.
It's not recommended to set the Java Heap size higher than half of the client computer's memory. For example, if the client computer has 1.0 GB of RAM, set the parameter to -Xmx512m
maximum.
