- By default Executor/Linux only assigns 2 MB of memory for the
- "application zone", which is the portion of memory where most
- applications store their data. You can trivially expand this with the
- "-applzone" command line switch:
-
- executor -applzone 4m
-
- will increase that limit from 2 MB to 4 MB. If you ask for too much
- memory then Executor will use virtual memory and you'll slow down, but
- on your configuration, you should be able to say "executor -applzone
- 16m" with no penalty.
