javaw.exe ~330 MB: Problem of too many header files? [message #134104]

Hello,

I'am a bit disappointed about the CDT editor functionality.

I used eclipse for java projects and it was always fast and reliable.
But for my first C project with eclipse it is not very fast. And it died
several times with heap memory exceeded, until I started eclipse with "-
vmargs -Xmx384m".

But when I try to use the content assist it takes many seconds with 100%
cpu load (on a 2,5 ghz cpu; 512 mb) until I see the context menu. Is
this usual?

In this project I have included the header files for crt (not mfc) and
win ddk. Too many header files? And the reason for 330MB memory usage?

Thank you for your efforts!

If you are not using the search features I would suggest turning the Indexer
off.

Hello,

unfortunately the content assist also switched off. And this is a
required feature.

Are there no other ways to make cdt responde faster?

Content Assist does not use the index by default.
I am not sure as to why shutting off the indexer blocks content assist.
