[Archivesspace_Users_Group] I Feel the Need for Speed - Time Trials?

[Trevor Thornton]

Have you tried increasing the Java memory allocation per the instructions
here:
https://github.com/archivesspace/tech-docs/blob/master/provisioning/tuning.md

We were having similar problems and restarting every week or 2 to resolve
them. After I made these adjustments (in our case I doubled all of the
default values) the slowness stopped and restarts were no longer necessary.
We made the change in version 2.5.0 I think, but we've upgraded since and
it's still fine.
