On Windows and Linux, edit the vmoptions.current.defaults file in the installation directory and change the -Xmx value to your preferred setting.
On Mac OS X, edit the /Applications/Geneious.app/Contents/Info.plist file and
find the VMOptions section and modify the -Xmx setting.
It is important on Mac OS X to ensure that this value is set appropriately after an upgrade
because users can often find that they have many large files in their local database preventing
Geneious from starting if this value is reset to the normal default (700M on 32 bit, 1000M on 64
bit). This is an issue because the Info.plist file is stored in the Geneious app bundle so it
gets replaced when upgrading.
