I have relatively recently switched to Eclipse (three months ago) and,
generally speaking, I love it. I am using it for straightforward Java
development - what I believe is the original design model for Eclipse.
The only problem is that I find the IDE very slow. Part if this is my
fault - the project contains some very large files. But the IDE can take
15 seconds to close a single file. And while typing code, the
incremental compiler can take up to 30 seconds to catch up with my
typing - irritating when you *think* you have corrected a typo but are
not sure.
I am happy to throw more resources at my development environment if it
would help, but I would like to try tuning first, and I would need to
know which resources to improve if I cannot tune my way out
Is there any guide to tuning the IDE performance?
My machine is a 2.4GHZ single CPU with 1Gb ram and an "ordinary" disk
running Windows 2000. Eclipse only uses about 170Mb of ram - can I get
it to use more, and would that help? I get a new motherboard with more
CPUs or Hyperthreading CPUs. Will these help? Is disk performance any
issue? I wouldn't guess it to be.
Thanks for any help,
Alec

it may help.
run eclipse with this option:
-vmargs -Xmx700M
(use the number you want instead of 700 - this is what I use)
