Re: [ jEdit-devel ] jEdit 4.3 slower than 4.2

[Dale A. <da...@gr...>]

I think 64m is the default.  I had the same issue with 4.3, then 
remembered with 4.2 I had added 128m in the jEdit launcher (Windows) and 
to the KDE shortcut (Linux).  With 4.3 on Windows, I'm starting jEdit 
with a direct call to java, adding -mx128m makes all the difference.
