RE: Memory usage?

Simon,
First let's please cut down on the warning comments, for
example, "I'm
eventually going to stop using it...". If our project
has deficiencies,
point them out, and we'll fix them or get a new design. 

Now, on to your memory problems. Can you tell us how many
files each
project has? And what is the proportion of HTML (vs. PHP
files)? Can you
identify a problematic project (maybe with complex class
structures)?
How many editors do you use regularly? 

Please understand that we should define the memory problem
and try to
isolate it so we will be able to fix it in our next
releases. Maybe we
can conduct some changes in the way we represent the source
and the
editor content and by that reduce the memory usage.

Bests,
Roy

Subject: [pdt-dev] Memory usage?

I've been a PDT user for more than a month now, and while I
think it's
pretty good overall (especially considering it has not
reached v1.0
yet), the memory requirements are starting to drive me nuts.
When
running PHP projects Eclipse keeps burning more and more
memory as I
keep it running. I have about 6 projects total in my
workspace, and
usually not more than 3 are open at a time, and memory usage
regularly
reaches above 500MB daily. At that point I usually restart
Eclipse
because everything goes to swap hell since my station has
1GB of RAM,
which is usually sufficient for my needs, but PDT throws
that out of
the window. Are there any significant memory use
optimizations coming
soon in PDT? If not I'm eventually going to stop using it
because the
current situation is almost unacceptable.
