Dave, I worked with that 3GB switch to try to get up to 2g heap but was never able to do it successfully - get a large heap I mean. Never tried it was jrocket though.

Actually, it is possible to exceed that on 32-bit Windows Server 2003 with a switch at system startup. https://blogs.oracle.com/jrockit/entry/how_to_get_almost_3_gb_heap_on_window s That said, I've never bothered to do this, and am not sure it would be a great idea anyway. As for "max heap size" in general, I don't think there's anything CF-specific about it. CF will use whatever is available if it needs to use it, but heap size is completely controlled by the JVM.
