Performance Issues with Large Documents

Problem

The performance of the application slows down considerably over time when editing large documents.

Solution

A possible cause is that the application needs more memory to run properly. You can increase the maximum amount of memory available to Oxygen XML Editor by setting the -Xmx parameter in a configuration file that is specific to the platform that runs the application.

When installed on a multiple user environment, each instance of Oxygen XML Editor will be allocated the amount stipulated in the memory value. To avoid degrading the general performance of the host system, ensure that the amount of memory available is optimally apportioned for each of the expected instances.
