Using -nojvm comes with a penalty in that you lose many features that rely on the Java
software, including the entire development environment. Starting MATLAB with the -
nodesktop option does not save any substantial amount of memory.
Free System Resources on Windows Systems
There are no MATLAB functions to manipulate the way MATLAB handles Microsoft
Windows system resources. Windows systems use these resources to track fonts,
windows, and screen objects. For example, using multiple figure windows, multiple fonts,
or several UI controls can deplete resources. One way to free up system resources is to
close all inactive windows. Windows system icons still use resources.
If total system memory is the limiting factor, shutting down other applications and
services can help (for example, using msconfig on Windows systems). However, the
process limit is usually the main limiting factor.
