How to reduce Eclipse’s memory usage?

by

Eclipse 3.4 can consume a lot more memory than the previous versions, courtesy the spellchecker plug-in.

You can switch off the plug-in by going to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Spelling, and unchecking the box title ‘Enable spell checking’.

Of course, the tips offered to use larger heap sizes and better garbage collectors would do you good as well.
