In recent years, JVM resource limitations have become more and more difficult
to circumvent. The problem is that the heap limit needs to be specified in
advance when starting the java process, but making it too high causes problems
with low-end hardware (e.g. a laptop with only 8GB).

I will make further experiments later, to see how far we can stretch the
default settings.


For now I recommend something like this in $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings:

ISABELLE_TOOL_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xms1g -Xmx8g -Xss16m"


I am often working with -Xmx30g on big machines, but not higher: there is a
32/64 discontinuity beyond 32 GB.
