I've been doing quite a bit of development in Eclipse lately. Eclipse is a decent IDE, but one of my pet peeves is how long it takes to load. I just sits there loading and loading and loading. Now, I have a reasonably fast computer, so that's not the problem. Today, I noticed all the disk activity. I got curious about how much stuff Eclipse was loading into memory. Then I saw it! A huge memory footprint. No wonder it takes forever to load. How fast can any laptop hard drive copy 270 MB into memory.
