Okay i downloaded v2.9 today and set it on a batch of about 3,500 files and fairly quickly got the dreaded out of memory message when “Correcting Tags from MusicBrainz”.
As it had been awhile since gotten such messages, I double checked the forum and the help for instructions to increase memory. It looks like the installation of 2.9 overwrote my previous edits to Info.plist (I am on a Mac). The MaxPermSize is an option I am not familiar with from the last time I edited that file.
Paul, you have a thread here (http://www.jthink.net/jaikozforum/posts/list/776.page) where you describe increasing MaxPermSize but I will admit I do not understand how the three parameters relate to each other and to the system as a whole.
I am on a machine with 6GB of memory. When I use Jaikoz, I usually run only Jaikoz in order to ensure as much memory is available as possible.
So if I wanted Jaikoz to grab a big chunk of memory from the get go…
This is the line I have currently in my Info.plist :
-Xms600m -Xmx1600m -XX:MaxPermSize=600m
(Note: I multiplied everything by 4 before I decided to make this post and ask to ensure I understood the ramifications).
Xms : What is this? (starting memory?)
Xmx : What is this? (maximum allowed memory?)
MaxPermSize : It looks like this is related to Xms. How is this different than Xmx?
Do these values need to change in a relationship/ratio to the other parameters or can they be changed independently from each other?
If I understand correctly, Jaikoz gets a full allocation of memory upon launch that it cannot increase. True? (doesn’t seem like it is true, because of the Xms and Xmx) If true, then if I wanted Jaikoz to use as much memory as it can grab (aside from the default system) which value should change?
