When starting Oxygen XML Editor from the icon created on the Start menu or Desktop in Windows (or from the shortcut created on the Linux desktop), the default maximum memory available to the application is set to 40% of the amount of physical RAM, but not more than 700 MB.
When starting Oxygen XML Editor from a command-line script, the default maximum memory is 512 MB.
While editing large documents in Oxygen XML Editor, if you see that performance slows down considerably over time, then a possible cause is that the application needs more memory to run properly. You can increase the maximum amount of memory available to Oxygen XML Editor by setting the -Xmx parameter in a configuration file that is specific to the platform that runs the application.
When installed on a multiple user environment, each instance of Oxygen XML Editor will be allocated the amount stipulated in the memory value. To avoid degrading the general performance of the host system, ensure that the amount of memory available is optimally apportioned for each of the expected instances.
