I'm running Ubuntu on a dual-core laptop with 3GB of RAM.
When typing, Eclipse/PDT often hangs on attempts to show me
auto-complete options. It becomes unresponsive for a few seconds, then
"works" again.
Also (related?) some times typing gets so slow that I'll be almost a
line or two ahead of the screen, and I need to stop and wait for Eclipse
to catch up.
I never had these sorts of issues with Europa/PDT1.
I edited my eclipse.ini file to increase memory - here's what I did:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
1024m
-vmargs
-Xms256m
-Xmx1024m
That actually helped, but has not solved the issue. When it's
happening, Eclipse is usually using ~300MB, so I'm not sure that
increasing it further will help (but I'm going to try ;) )
The project that I'm working with is not small - probably close to 4000
php files.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Tim
