You might want to try setting the min and max heaps to the same size. I have the following and it seems to improve the performance of garbage collect (since the heap size can be fixed).

I still have extremely long pauses while IDEA build #604 is doing garbage collection. I am running with 256mb of RAM on a 500mhz Win2K machine. I use the JVM_ARGS=-ms16m -mx128m in my idea.bat I am working on a fairly large application (Almost 30mb of source files on disk) with several large jars (3-5mb each) in my class path containing internally developed APIs and Services. Is there an optimal way to set IDEA up so that the source and classes are available when I want to drill down to them, but not constantly loaded into memory?
