MATLAB: Increase memory used by Matlab

memoryperformancespeed

I have Windows 7 (64 bits) and I would like to increase the performance of Matlab (version R2011b). I would like to know how to configure Windows to let Matlab to use more memory, because I think 513MB of 24GB is too low. The memory state is as follows:
<<
Maximum possible array:              45917 MB (4.815e+010 bytes) *
Memory available for all arrays:     45917 MB (4.815e+010 bytes) *
Memory used by MATLAB:                 513 MB (5.382e+008 bytes)
Physical Memory (RAM):               24574 MB (2.577e+010 bytes)
*  Limited by System Memory (physical + swap file) available.
>>
Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much in advance.

The 513 MB means the currently used memory. This is increased automatically, when you define new arrays. "Memory available for all arrays: 45917 MB" seems like you are using a large virtual memory block, because you have installed 24 GB only.
