Re: Increase memory
Thank you for your detailed report.
Could the previously encountered problems have been a combination of the users computer not having enough memory plus they had disabled (or set to low) their pagefile?
This is the test that was missing and I just tried to run Sweet Home 3D with no paging (swap) file. To disable this feature in Windows, read this article (or this one for French readers). On a Windows XP computer with 512 MB and no paging file, I still was able to launch and use Sweet Home 3D with the -Xmx1024m option. When I read a large home file, it finally crashed with the following log message:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested 32756 bytes for ChunkPool::allocate. Out of swap space?
#
# Internal Error (allocation.cpp:117), pid=2644, tid=2748
# Error: ChunkPool::allocate
#
# JRE version: 6.0_20-b02
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (16.3-b01 mixed mode windows-x86 )
# An error report file with more information is saved as:
# C:\Documents and Settings\Emmanuel\workspace\SweetHome3D\hs_err_pid2644.log
#

but as long as you don't request too much memory in Sweet Home 3D, it runs with no problem.
