On windows x86 java fails even before the start of the test, it is just impossible to allocate 2g of memory.

jdk/bin/java -mx2g --version
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 2097152KB object heap

The maximum it can allocate is around `-mx1650m`, but using that caused the test to fail from time to time.
