Fine, it worked. I will try in this way. Just the last question and I won't bother you further today. My machine right now has just 6 giga of RAM (it will be increased to 16 in a few days), and I see that with this experimental version memory.limit is 6135.
How is the command to increase the memory usage until the maximum I can (5 giga?). If I am writing memory.limit(5000) it still gives me the error: don't be silly! Your machine has a 4Gb address limit which is quite odd. Many thanks Best A. 2010/1/12 alessia matano <alexis....@gmail.com>: > ok, perfect! > I will try with it...many many thanks.
