allowing java to use more RAM

Hello,
I'm a pasionated oekakiboard-user. Oekaki-boards are boards where one can draw on little java-applets and disscuss the picture later with the boardcommunity (if my description isn't clear enough, please look at www.oekakicentral.com. it's a big board and one can get a good impression of what i mean)

The newest applet is called "shipainter". Non of the applets work in Safari, but they work in firefox. However, shipainter crashes often and acts funny. this is a common known problem and to fix it i need to allow java to use more woringspace/RAM.
The Oekakicentral-help gives a description on how to change it for sun java + windows.

But how can i change the parameters in the MacOs nativ java ? Or is it only restricted in Sunjava ?
It's said to work best if i allow java to use 64 to 512 MB of RAM instead of 2 to 64 MB.

Also, firefox often freezes while using javaapplets (not only the oekaki ones). is there a better browser to use ?

my technical-level is about "advanced beginner": I know the basics of using the terminal and have a very rudimental idea of MacOs' architekture etc but i'm not all familiar with it.
However, my english is not as good as it should be (after 9 years of english-classes in school)... so maybe make it as easy to understand as possible ?

thank you very much,
Rayveen/Mariann
