[xep-support] how to use -Xmx switch? -- or some other fix?

[Jim Melton]

Susan,

I, too, have 1GB of "real" memory, and I use -X1024M as my version of the 
switch.  I have about 2.5GB of virtual memory (paging file).  80% of 1GB 
is, very roughly speaking, 800MB (it's actually a bit more, 819.2, because 
memory is counted in 1K=1024 units, but you get the idea).

Hope this helps,
    Jim
