You should really have about 20% or so of free heap space. Sounds like
it is time that you go after it with HeapFixer.

There is another utility called HeapTools that will adjust your system
heap, however I find it troublesome and not too accurate. You can find
HeapTools on many of the online services. It may be at sumex, too. I
think HeapFixer would be your best bet, is there a reason why you don't
want to use it? Maybe I can help?
