Besides `-Xmx` (maximum heap size), `-Xms` (initial heap size) is important. Setting `-Xms` to the same value as `-Xmx` can prevent the JVM from resizing the heap frequently, potentially improving performance. `-XX:+UseG1GC` enables the Garbage-First Garbage Collector, which can be more efficient for larger heaps.
