Correct FlashBuilder.ini / eclipse.ini setting for use with profiler

Question

My FlashBuilder instance keeps on crashing while doing some heavy profiling. Must say though that I am also generating object allocation traces (all, not the default 10) and traversing GC paths a lot.

However I have a hunch that I can solve this by allowing Flash Builder to use more memory.

This is my FlashBuilder.ini:

-startup
eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
--launcher.library
eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.100.v20110502
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-nl
en_US
-vmargs
-Xms256m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-XX:PermSize=64m
-Dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory=eclipse/dropins
-Declipse.application=com.adobe.flexbuilder.standalone.FlashBuilderApplication

In my eclipse error log I can clearly see:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested 1024000 bytes for GrET in C:\BUILD_AREA\jdk6_16\hotspot\src\share\vm\utilities\growableArray.cpp. Out of swap space?

Here is the full error log:

All this leads me to conclude that there must be something wrong with my Xms/Xmx/MaxPermsize/PermSize params.

I know that augmenting Xmx to something higher than 1024m will cause additional crashes/unwanted behaviour.

Does anyone have an idea what the ideal values should be?

Any pointers on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
