It seems to work just fine for me. A great advantage of Xincgc is, that it returns freed memory to the OS. > The other problem with it is that the amount of CPU it consumes is much higher than >the less > frequent garbage collection events without the Xincgc flag. I don't see that with Xincgc. IDEA gets much slower with a big heap and without Xincgc. > But you would be better off getting more memory. I run with 1 gig.

Normally it stays around 80MB. And by the way. I'm working on really large projects. Don't forget. Xincgc without my plugin really sucks, but with the plugin activated it's really fine.
