if you have 8GB of ram, 5.5gb (-Xmx=5632m) works well.
If you have more than 8GB of ram, total memory - 4GB if the machine is only running a single instance of teku.
If the machine is used for multiple tasks, set java heap space to 6GB for teku, to limit it's memory usage to approximately 8GB.
that's my attempt, @ajsutton or @mbaxter would potentially have far more accurate answers...

I'd say,
If you have more than 8GB of RAM available, we recommend setting the maximum heap size to 5GB or more.
It's not an exact science, and half gigabytes are neither here nor there.

I'd update these for mainnet, and definitely for Pyrmont.
We recommend setting the maximum heap size to at least 3GB if you have less than 8GB of RAM, or if you have more RAM, but want to free up memory for other processes. This results in an approximate process size of 5GB (on Linux).

Also update the -Xmx2g to -Xmx3g in the examples below.
