I think since the beta the builder was changed to build whenever the resources changed, so that if you change a java object, and a rule depends on it, it will show up appropriately. You might be seeing the effect on that. As to if its a leak, well keep doing that, and then press the garbage collect button and see if it reclaims it. Normal operation is for mem to go up and down like that.
The task manager in windows is not always informative, other then over a long period of time. As the heap grows, the JVM can request more from the OS, even if it doesn't use it the task manager will show it. Apparently in java 6 or 7 that is all changing, but for now, have a look at what the little eclipse meter (down the bottom in M5) says. Of course, a leak is always possible, the IDE has to do all sorts of stuff to parse/build the rules, sniff out DSLs etc.. (even the colours) but as you say, its recent behaviour, so I am thinking the main thing that changed is the builder. Please let us know what you find. Michael. (ps just trying out M6, still some issues - 3.2 final is due in June, gosh I hope it comes quickly !).
