Mike, I think you should try -Xmx128M. From my personal experience setting mx to a very high value does not help, but in fact makes IDEA slower sometimes. IDEA works really well with 128 meg heap on our project (ca 5000 java files) and is quite fast with this setting: no noticable gc pauses, gc's occur quite rarely. I suggest that you use quite the minimal heap size w/which IDEA works. Also don't forget that -Xincgc really slows things down.
