title: Cant Increase Android Studio's Memory Heap
body: <p>I am using latest version of Android studio 1.3 preview beta release. But it is working very slow on my system (RAM 4GB). When i try to edit a java or xml file in editor it takes 3-4 second to write a word. I have followed <a href="http://geek.moneylover.me/android-studio-eliminate-shutter-n-lag/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> blog to Increase Android Studio's Memory Heap size. I have updated the studio64.exe.vmoptions file at path C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\bin\studio64.exe Here is what inside my vmoptions file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-Xms128m
  -Xmx4096m
  -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m
  -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=200m
  -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
  -XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=50
  -ea
  -Djna.nosys=true
  -Djna.boot.library.path=
  
  -Djna.debug_load=true
  -Djna.debug_load.jna=true
  -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false
  -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
  -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError
  -Didea.paths.selector=AndroidStudioPreview1.3
  -Didea.platform.prefix=AndroidStudio
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But my android studio memory heap remains same after changes in file. Here is screen shot it is still 512m:</p>
