The presentation of options were cleaned up. Before it was unclear that there is a specific placement order for certain options.

+For some tasks, JOSM has a large appetite for memory. On the one hand, it may be necessary to configure an  -Xmx memory size that supports more JOSM plugins and other JOSM editing features. On the other hand, slow systems or those systems with few memory resources, can be stabilized by restricting JOSM memory use.  These example Java memory settings provide examples that start with systems that have few memory resources to systems with vast amounts of memory.

-For some tasks, JOSM needs a lot of memory. It can be necessary to add the following Java option to specify the maximum size of allocated memory in megabytes. On the other hand, on slow systems or those with less memory, you can make JOSM more stable by restricting its memory use:
-{{{
--Xmx...m                                  Set maximum Java heap size in megabytes
-}}}
