This is not necessarily a bug, but in the latest build (616), I have noticed some interesting behavior in the memory indicator that I had not noticed before. (It may have been there, but I didn't see it.) Typically, just after startup and loading of my project* the indicator shows "26M of 63M". With build 616 I can watch the "used" end of the display change from 26 to 27 to 28 and then back to 28. The cycle takes around 5 seconds.
If I leave it for long enough (about 5 minutes without touching the app) the cycle increases to 27-28-27-.... Left for long enough again (another couple of minutes) the cycle will step up to 27-28-29-27-.... Left for an additional 15 minutes or so it will step up again. I have not left it much longer than that. (I haven't had the build too much longer than that.) Pressing the "Run Garbage Collector" button once does nothing to change the pattern. Pressing it repeatedly can get the cycle back down to 26-27-28 briefly, but it starts marching back up again. I can understand that IDEA is working on things in the background, but something that takes near 2M of memory is pretty big. The really worrisome bit, though is that it's not being 100% garbage collected after each cycle. BTW: Windows 2000 (all latest patches) Pentium IV 1.3GHz 256Mb RAM Sun HotSpot VM JDK 1.3.1_02 Oh, and the new icons are great (not too blurry to me at 1152x864). Is it intended that the other buttons will match the theme (mostly the help button, and the buttons for the Ant Build pane, etc) by release time? ~Mike * - The project I'm working on is fairly large. There are over 2000 Java files and a number of them have inner classes. _______________________________________________ Eap-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.intellij.com/mailman/listinfo/eap-list
