I have a lot of memory available on my computer and I was wondering if I can give my Eclipse – which I use heavily – more memory.
How much is enough? Respectively how much brings any additional effect?
I am talking about editing the eclipse.ini file:
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms128m
-Xmx768m
Should I simply double (quadruple) all the numbers? Or just the Xms and Xmx? I don't know what is what there.
Thanks!

You can experiment with different values for
-Xms
and-Xmx
start with-Xms1024m
and-Xmx2048m
and see if that helps.Another thing you can try is different garbage collection strategies and a whole lot of other jvm settings. I suggest visiting this question over on Stack Overflow
