object was to load australia.osm (266.8MB)
setting the size to 512, 1024 too small
2048 swapped out everything and ran very very slow
changing the window manager, preventing the loading of 70 other processes, 6
virtual desktops and every other memory hog by starting twm instead of kde
allowed it to function slowly with virtual machine size set at 1536
I certainly don't have any more spare RAM in the house, so there ends the
experiment.
For normal use I'll find a suitable number between 1024 and 1536 to give me
some more space to use JOSM
and I'll work out how to carve pieces out of planet.osm and australia.osm for
myself
