How can i speed up eclipse operations. ? Its too sluggish.

I am using 3.2.2 on linux.
I use p4wsad plugin for perforce SCM tool plugin + J2EE tools and
omondoUML plugin.
I have P4 Core duo processor with 512 MB RAM.
I use following command to start eclipse:


/opt/eclipse3.2/eclipse -vm /usr/java/jdk1.6.0/jre/bin/java -vmargs
-Xms256m -Xmx256m -XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=64m &

What minimum hardware requirements for running eclipse successfully
without any glitches.
Many times eclipse automatically starts some processing. I have disabled
automatic build but still it starts something in background. It does not
show that even in progress window.

In short what could be the minimum eclipse configuration for using Web
Application.

Thanks and regards
jigar

The process in the background that irritates you is probably garbage
collector.

To run pure eclipse it is enough 256MB of *free* RAM.
If you are using J2EE, you have probably some server etc... I believe
that 1G should be enough.

Your hardware looks like it is adequate (of course it depends on what
else you are running on the machine), but you are only allowing Eclipse
256 MB of heap space which may be too small. Try upping the max heap
space to 512MB and see what difference that makes.
Also, how to you determine that Eclipse is running "some processing" in
the background? I've run Eclipse on much less hardware than what you
have without any troubles, under Windoze, so I think there must be
something else going on with your machine.

Hope this helps,
Eric
