If you are using the 64-bit version of Poly/ML, you should give both
--minheap and --maxheap, otherwise it tends to overcommit a lot of memory.

If you are using the 32-bit version, you should start with a much small
--minheap -- I usually use 1500. The maxheap is implicit by the virtual
memory boundary.

Yet still, Isabelle/jEdit takes on the order of a minute to launch, and freezes (with permanent pink markup) within 5 – 20 minutes of launching. My machine has 12 virtual cores and 16 GB of memory. What could I be doing wrong?

What exactly is "my theory"? Is it already in some repository?
