-Xmx1G
is a parameter for the java call to reserve 1 GB of memory (Heapspace) for the process.
This will usually not make a difference if you leave it out, unless you run out of memory, that is.
I used this for the conversion of hundreds of (mathematical) PDF files, so for the general user this will be too high, I suppose. The explanation is in the java man page:
?Xmsn
Specifies the initial size of the memory allocation pool. This value must be a multiple of 1024 greater than 1 MB. Append the letter k or K to indicate kilobytes, the letter m or M to indicate megabytes, the letter g or G to indicate gigabytes, or the letter t or T to indicate terabytes. The default value is 2MB. Examples:
?Xms6291456
?Xms6144k
?Xms6m
So what is the "x" in -Xmx1G doing? Was it meant to be an "s"?
