[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Slow display of editor tabs

["txie" <txie@xxxxxxxxx>]

I experience the similar problem. I use P4 1.6Ghz with 512Mb memory, but
still feel very slow for the editor to refresh when I navigate files. Task
Manager shows CPU usage hit ~100%, mostly it is consumed by javaw.exe
process (eclipse invokes it). Memory usage is below 300Mb. So I doubt it's
short-of-memory problem.
What's the suggested heapsize for eclipse on win-xp?

TIA
