Increase Memory Usage of Java Process

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners

Hi,

upfront, I’m sorry to post this here, but I’m really quite at a loss to find a suitable category for my question.

I’m experiencing a very slow start of openhab and first-time execution time for rules is also very slow. I have found a hint that an increase of the memory for the Java process might remedy the problem - which absolutely makes sense.
I now tried to add the -Xms and -Xmx parameters in the openhab start file but I’m not sure they have any effect.

I’m running OH on a Pine64 board; the memory usage seems to top at approx. 560MB while I tried to increase the parameters above to 1GB each.

Any ideas from the community what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Bernhard

What flavor of Java do you use? Should be the 32bit version, because 64bit Java is very slow on ARM.

Thanks, I’m using the Oracle JDK 32bit version.
