This sounds much more drastic than a simple memory error.  Do you get any
error message or stack trace?  What freezes - the application or the
operating system or ...?  For how long?  Until you reboot? 

The -XMs flag increases the stack size which is not generally needed.  The
-XMx flag can be used to increase the heap size for large models, but it
won't help if you aren't actually running out of heap (which should give you
an error to that effect).

One potential issue, depending on the vintage of the project that you are
trying to load (which you didn't provide a pointer to), is that ArgoUML is
very poor about providing feedback during the loading process (to the point
of not even refreshing the UI) *and* there are potentially a number of
resource intensive transformations applied to the project during the load,
depending on when it was created.  The only GEF related file I was able to
locate on casual inspect is a couple of years old so it will have at least a
couple of conversions, if not more, applied to it.  I wouldn't be surprised
if it took more than a few minutes to load.

At this point the best thing to do is probably to file a bug report with all
the rest of the details (ArgoUML version, Java version, operating system
type and version, copy of the file you're trying to load, etc).
