+[Aikar has does some research](https://mcflags.emc.gs/) into finding the optimal JVM flags for GC tuning, which becomes more important as more users are connected concurrently. The set of flags documented there can be added using
 
     -e USE_AIKAR_FLAGS=true
 
+When `MEMORY` is greater than or equal to 12G, then the Aikar flags will be adjusted according to the article.
+
+Large page support can also be enabled by adding
+
+    -e USE_LARGE_PAGES=true

 ### HTTP Proxy
 
 You may configure the use of an HTTP/HTTPS proxy by passing the proxy's URL via the `PROXY`
