Hi all,

I know there is already a related question about the Pharo VM on Windows. But as it seems, it is kind of hard to get over 512MB there, so I'm trying to do stuff on Mac.

When using Cog I was able to use Cog.app --args -memory 2000m to allow Cog to run with 2GB of memory. Which then works fine with the same data I want to work with in Pharo. But I would like to use Pharo 2.0 and the Pharo VM, instead of Pharo 1.4 and the Cog VM.

How would I achieve giving the Pharo VM more memory on Mac?�

If I am not mistaken, I currently only have 1GB, which is not enough, my image�crashed when dealing with large data.

Also, is there a way to check how much memory the VM has available in the workspace? I tried some arguments, but could only find out if they had any effect by getting to a crash after letting it do some work.

Cheers,

Dennis
