I don't know if he was exaggerating about the 400 megs of ram, but even the fact that you think that 150 is okay is ridiculous. I've got a fairly beefy machine here at work and CFE feels really slow. If I need to do work fast, I popup open Editplus.

I'm not sure what you're doing to get Eclipse to use up 400 MB of anything. Right now I have had Eclipse open for 9 hours working on many files, with CF8 running as well. Peak Memory Utilization: Eclipse: 157 Mb CF8: 241 Mb CFEclipse and a local install of CF will run just fine on a machine with 1 Gb of RAM. I guess only the super rich can develop for CF at this point. Come on now. If you are seriously saying you can't use CFEclipse because you don't have enough RAM, I have to point out that you can buy a 2Gb stick of DDR2 400 RAM for $68. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 beta â Build next generation applications today.
