[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Does 2.1 have a memory leak?

["Johan Compagner" <jcompagner@xxxxxxxx>]

That is just WinXP that let's you believe that.
WinXP pages minimized windows directly out.
So whne you minimize eclipse will almost completely be paged
to cache/disk.

Then when you restore only portions of the page file are read back
in (only needed)
