The tomcat6w.exe can be used to configure any number of services. If you've got the wrong one, you'll be configuring something OTHER than what you want to configure. Do you have multiple Tomcat6-based services configured? If so, make sure you are editing the right now. > I have an old installation of Tomcat 6 on my laptop, and took a > screenshot of that tab.

I wouldn't increase anything you don't need to increase. I've seen JVMs configured for huge heaps on multi-tenant VMs that have over-committed the physical hardware. The hypervisor does what it can, and every VM runs slow as a dog.
