This is the value of the -Xmx parameter to the Java runtime. IIRC the new installer asks for a value for this, and the default maximum memory values have been increased of late. Exactly how to set this depends a bit on how you launch Vassal. This would be done on an individual application basis, rather than as a global system setting. The places where this may be found are in the .jnlp if you use webstart or perhaps in the .bat file if you start Vassal that way. (I'm a Mac person, so I'm not terribly familiar with the Windows installation). > > --- In [email protected], Thomas Russ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> >> On Nov 8, 2007, at 4:11 PM, Alfred Wong wrote: >> >>> VASSAL uses up all my CPU and takes 15 - 30 seconds to show start >>> page.
