Verify you are running 64 bit java on 64 bit os:

o$ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_172"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_172-b11)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.172-b11, mixed mode)

$ uname -a
OpenBSD o.dev2dev.net 6.4 GENERIC.MP#10 amd64

Then tweak Xmx and Xms as needed. Sometimes setting them too high will cause start errors, while too low may cause performance or later runtime errors, so may take some tweaking to get working just right.

Is there a formula somewhere in the docs to calculate between RAM, CPU, expected user load, modules etc, that is a useful formula?

Test here: https://o.dev2dev.net:8443/accounting/control/main
