Ivan Cesare and Zoltan have been looking into this and have just made a new set of exe's
with optimised GC - Garbage cleaning..which is a problematic part of the Java runtime - built in
if its on constantly or just completely off there is no RAM spike which is what causes the Lag
freeze and disconnect problems possibly in large and long mission - thats the hypothesis currently anyway
Importantly Ivan also made a 500mb and also a 256mb version which anyone should be able to use
not just those with powerful computers
1Gb with optimised GC by Zoltan - probably optimum for 2GB RAM + & new multicores

512mb with optimised GC by Ivan - probably optimum for old high end single cores with 1- 2GB+ RAM

256mb with optimised GC by Ivan - A very old PC of any type possibly, try 500mb first though
Download 256MB_il2fb.rar
In testing I can run the old midway mission (the one that froze) for a full 3 hours without any problems with the 1Gb and 500mb version
I have not tested the 256mb version yet but it would improve performance anyway ovr the stock one
The integral GC options in these are a new development but it makes these the most advanced option to date
The 512mb version is my favourite option as its actually at a size where ANYONE could run it so its an actual 'patch' or 'hotfix' option for everybody if testing goes well
I would recommend just dropping into your il2 installation at first
If it doesn't work well disable Hsfx history mod with JSGME and re-apply
you will just wipe out the new one and revert to the original again
if your game boots and runs with no problems and there is no net depreciation in performance
then also add the new exe into jsgmemods/ Hsfx history mod replacing your current one
No problems with CRT with this...its not part of it
