Please review the archives of this list (easier on Gmane than Sourceforge)
and look for "out-of-memory" postings. You will find some suggestions about
how to tweak both the startup JVM configuration and eXist's memory
allocation.

If what you find there doesn't help, and you are using a recent build of
eXist, then you will need to tell us more about your data (and maybe more
about your application, if by that you mean a monolithic Java app with eXist
as an embedded library)

If you are adding these 10 000 entries in a bulk operation, then a good way
to avoid out-of-memory problems (after optimising the memory config for your
platform) is to shut down the eXist server and do the load via the Java
client in embedded and non-gui mode, which minimises the eXist footprint
during the load.
