How to use PyCharm in 32 bit mode

Question

There is a way to run Pycharm in 32bit mode for reducing memory consumption. Where can I set that. (Pycharm has documented this, but I can't find the google phrase to get me to that page.)

I never knew about it, my pycharm on macosx is performing better now! — zengr, Nov 21 '11 at 06:38

You can alternatively set VM options from your pycharm path $PATH/pycharm/pycharm-2.7.1/bin in file pycharm64.vmoptions example:

-Xms128m
-Xmx800m
-XX:MaxPermSize=350m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=64m
-XX:+UseCodeCacheFlushing
-ea
-Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false

I am not sure which OS you are running, but since pycharm is built over the JVM, you can pass this argument to the JVM launch parameters, which will force JVM to run in 32bit mode: -d32
