I've recently started getting an out of memory error while using PyCharm 5.0.4 The message is:
There's not enough memory to perform the requested operation. Please increase Xmx setting and shutdown PyCharm for change to take effect.
I've already increased the value to 1024 MB, and to my knowledge nothing has changed in either my Python or system setups.
What exactly does the size of the Xmx memory manage, and how would I go about debugging what's causing the issue?

PyCharm recommends 1 GB of RAM as stated in the system requirements at the PyCharm website.
Running pycharm consumes around 4.5-5G or ram. Max heap size is set to 2G.
Python doesn't limit memory usage on your program. It will allocate as much memory as your program needs until your computer is out of memory. The most you can do is reduce the limit to a fixed upper cap. That can be done with the resource module, but it isn't what you're looking for.
What worked for me when I ran into this "Out of Memory" problem was clearing the cache. ("File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart...") It's been a couple days and no further problems. Before, it was happening five or ten minutes after starting PyCharm, even with me not doing anything on PyCharm other than look at it.
I'm running PyCharm Community Edition 2016.1.4 on Windows 7 Enterprise.
