[jdt-core-dev] Virtual memory usage
|
Here is a useful hint in order to better watch memory usage (from EC newsgroup).
=============================================================
Indeed. A much more useful metric I find for total program footprint is
the
"VM Size". IIRC this indicates the amount of space consumed by all
non-resident memory pages allocated for the application including those
that
may be swapped out. [Essentially the size of all pages controlled by the
virtual memory manager] This column can be displayed by checking "Virtual
Memory Size" in the window that pops up under View -> Select Columns...
