The reason this came up is because I noticed a lot of swapping going on and
my system slowing down.  Aahh the joys of java.

Subject: Re: [Tonto] High Memory Usage on Windows 2000


One annoying feature of the Sun and IBM Java VM's is that you have to
provide at runtime the maximum memory size. The VM will attempt to use as
much of this as possible before running garbage collection. For Tonto on
Windows and Mac, I've set that to 32MB; on Linux, it's a shell script
setting. Anything above that is memory the kernel, not Tonto, has allocated.
It is possible to set this lower, but I was playing it safe in case you open
a really large or color ccf. I'll look into ways of making this user-tunable
if it's a problem.
