Change ## to 3G if you have 4GB RAM or more
Change the first ## to 1G and the second ## to 512M if you have 2GB RAM.

If you have multicore processor:

Illu, I bet you´ve seen the folder you rename from Java_vm to _backup. And add Jre6. Do you think REPLACING THE ORIGINAL SK Java_VM Folder with a Jre7 for example would crash the game or improve performance? Has this been tried yet.
