(tuturial) How to make runescape run faster and reduce lag.

This will allow you to make a selected amount of RAM only work with java apps. (runescape)

Step 1:

Rigt Click the java icon in your TASKBAR, then select the CONTROL PANEL option. (if its not there load up a runescape world and it should appear.)

Step 2

Click the JAVA Tab and then click the VIEW box under Java > APPLET > Runtime Settings.

Step 3

Choose the amount of RAM you want to assign:

(8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512)

8 MB

-Xmx8M

16MB

-Xmx16M

32MB

-Xmx32M

64MB

-Xmx64M

128MB

-Xmx128M

256MB

-Xmx256M

512MB

-Xmx512M

ADDING MORE THAN 512MB IF YOU ONLY HAVE A TOTAL OF 1GB WILL CAUSE YOUR COMPUTER TO DIE! x.X

Step 4

Put the extension (the letters and numbers i quoted) you chose into the JAVA RUNTIME PEREMTARS BOX.

Thats it! I hope this helps you enjoy a faster, lag free Runescape

Nice guide! It works.

Nice guide! It works.

Thanks, i was hoping it would be easy for everyone to understand, even though my pics of the process aren't all that great. -.-

by the way, if you double click on the java icon and dont get the java control panel simply right click the icon and click on control panel, i had to do it :)

and do you need to put the - thingy?

Oh, i'll edit the part about the icon thing (thanks).. I was in a bit of a hurry when i wrote this cause my gf was coming over soon.. But anyway, YES you do need to put the hyphen. -

The -Xmx parameter in java limits the MAXIMUM memory.

I'll read you out my current options:

-Dsun.java2d.d3d=true -Dsun.java2d.ddscale=true -Dsun.java2d.translaccel=true -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled

Not all of them may be currently effective, the string grew somewhat as I used Java 6 beta

The last 3, select tunings for hyperthreading / dual core operation, using multithreaded garbage collection.

The first 3 select Direct3d assistance, though this mode may now be the default.

I used to use -Xms32M to increase the starting heap size, but on my system with Java 6SE final and concurrent tuning, the default is now higher.

Best Java tuning you CAN do, update to Java 6

The tool I used to use for analysis

http://www.tagtraum.com/gcviewer.html

Is not yet updated for Java 6, but still gives partial results. This requires logfiles to be generated, which may impair performance in normal use.

Another tip, if you ever use loghile flags, be certain to remove the logging options when not collecting logs to analyze.
