Description John Arthorne CLA 2005-09-16 12:00:42 EDT 
The IDE workbench now performs explicit garbage collection when the UI is
"idle". Currently, the application is considered idle when:

 1) There are no jobs running.
 2) There has not been a KeyUp or MouseUp in the past five seconds.

We will need to monitor this to see if other cues are required.  Randy commented
in bug 92164 that MouseUp does not occur during drag and drop operations.
Whether this will affect the end user experience or not is still unclear.

The trick is to find sufficient idle indicators without capturing *all* SWT
events because this would likely impose too much overhead.
