PhpStorm (EAP 2) comes with these default settings (in file
PhpStorm.exe.vmoptions):

-Xms32m
-Xmx500m
-XX:MaxPermSize=150m

According to this article [1] too big "mx" and "ms" values are not
recommended because they slow down garbage collector. Looking at the
memory indicator in the PhpStorm IDE itself (lower right corner) gives
an indication on current usage. If it shows that the memory in use is
almost equal to the total memory available, you might want to rise the
limits. In my case it is usually only needing ~130Mb per instance.

So I am not sure if tweeking that memory limits would give me any extra
benefit. If it was too low, I would get a "memory full" exception, isn't
that so?

Cheers,
Ernesto
