Increasing Memory for SoapUI on Mac
Hi, I have been getting significant performance problems when running soapUI NG on my Mac. I was provided what appears to be a pretty useful resource here: http://readyapi.smartbear.com/soapui/w...

Hi Tclotworthy,
Please refer to the following article to learn how to get access to the Contents folder:
Hi Tanya,
Your response allowed me to find the contents folder and related vmoptions.txt file. Unfortunately when following the directions for adjusting the memory, I ran into another issue.
The article I was directed to for improving memory usage was here Improving Memory Usage . For mac, it said
Adjust Memory Settings
This doesn't really solve the underlying problem, but if you have large WSDLs, requests, attachments, and so on the default settings in bin\soapui.bat, bin\soapui.sh, bin\vmoptions for Windows or Contents/vmoptions.txt for Mac won't be sufficient.
Open the corresponding file in a text editor and change the line
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms128m -Xmx256m -Dsoapui.properties=soapui.properties
to use higher values for the max allocated size, for example:
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms128m -Xmx768m -Dsoapui.properties=soapui.properties
However, when I open the Contents/vmoptions.txt file does not have the JAVA_OPTS line (as shown above) to even change it. Therefore, I simply added the recommended second line. But when I attempt to restart ReadAPI, it will not even boot. Therefore, I have simply removed the line and am now back where I started with the original memory issues.
