By "I restart the Alfresco service" I assume you are running Alfresco tomcat installed as a service, then try using tomcat6w.exe to set the options.

Thanks Loftux, you pointed me in the right direction. I'm not too familiar with the service parameters but with the help from that how-to link you provided, I successfully changed the java settings for alfresco. I did so by uninstalling the alfrescoTomcat service, changed the jvm settings inside the %alfresco_home%\tomcat\bin\service.bat file, and then used the "Install Alfresco Community as a Service" to reinstall with the new settings.

Good to go!
