Mikhail:
Would this help
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6878883/how-do-i-determine-maxdirectmemorysize-on-a-running-jvm?

I tried to set XX:MaxDirectMemorySize
According to
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3773775/default-for-xxmaxdirectmemorysize,
the default is 64 MB.

But even if I set XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=64m, I got the following on
MacBook:

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

So some expert advice is needed :-)
