  Information here is taken mainly from the official JetBrains documentation.

  Note: <VERSION> represents the RubyMine release version in a single string where first digit is the major version, and the second is the minor version, e.g. 80 for version 8.0.x.

  Java Virtual Machine settings

  Settings for the JVM used by RubyMine are defined in the file $RUBYMINE_HOME/bin/rubymine.vmoptions. To override the defaults, create a rubymine.vmoptions file in the config dir, which is located at ~/Library/Preferences/RubyMine<VERSION>/ by default (or at location specified by idea.config.path). The ENV variable RUBYMINE_VM_OPTIONS may also be used to specify a path to the .vmoptions file, but its unknown if this is supported currently.

  Setting	Description	Default
  -XX:InitialHeapSize	Initial memory allocation for JVM heap	128m
  -XX:MaxHeapSize	Max memory allocation for JVM heap	512m
  -XX:PermSize	Initial memory allocation for JVM permanent heap (class objects)	64m
  -XX:MaxPermSize	Max memory allocation for JVM permanent heap (class objects)	64m
  -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize	Max memory allocated to the code cache	32m
  -XX:+UseCodeCacheFlushing	Automatically flushes code cache if full	true
  -XX:+UseCompressedOops	Enables optimization for 64-bit machines	true
  -XX:+DoEscapeAnalysis	Performance optimization
  -XX:+UseFastAccessorMethods	Performance optimization
  -XX:+UseStringCache	Enables caching of commonly-used strings
  -XX:+UseCompressedStrings	Performance optimization
  -XX:+OptimizeStringConcat	Performance optimization
  -XX:+UseParNewGC	Performance optimization for multi-core machines	false

  See this blog post for more info about JVM configuration options.

  Global IDE settings (IDEA properties)

  System settings for RubyMine are defined in the file $RUBYMINE_HOME/bin/idea.properties. To override the defaults, create an idea.properties file in the config dir, which is located at ~/Library/Preferences/RubyMine<VERSION>/ by default (or at location specified by idea.config.path). The file location may also be specified using either of the ENV variables RUBYMINE_PROPERTIES and IDEA_PROPERTIES.

  Property	Description
  idea.home	IDE installation location
  idea.config.path	IDE config directory location
  idea.system.path	IDE cache directory location
  idea.plugins.path	IDE plugin directory location
  idea.log.path	IDE log directory location
  idea.max.intellisense.filesize	Maximum size (Kb) of file to provide code assistance for
  idea.popup.weight	Defauts to heavy. Set to medium to prevent popup issues.
  idea.use.default.antialiasing.in.editor	Force default system antialiasing to be used
  idea.jars.nocopy	Disables copying of library JAR files
  idea.no.launcher	Configure to use special launcher for running processes within IDE
  idea.cycle.buffer.size	Restrict console output to specified value (Kb)
