JMeter version 4 comes with 1 GB of HEAP allocated by default, you can amend it like:

set HEAP=-Xms1G -Xmx10G && jmeter.bat

You can also locate the following line in jmeter.bat file:

set HEAP=-Xms1g -Xmx1g -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=256m

and amend this -Xmx1g according to your requirements. Don't allocate too much heap as it might get things worse, don't set too low as your test will be slowed down by the garbage collection. You can check heap state and other VM metrics using i.e. JVisualVM tool
