You might wanna give 384 or even 512 a shot. My guess would be that you
run into garbage collection which completely stops the JVM while it is
happening.

I have seen a "Memorybar" in one of the lower corners of eclipse on
windows based systems. Maybe you can activate this, too, to get an idea
of memory usage in eclipse's VM.
