During a normal editing session, IDEA takes up too much memory. I have a large heap size already as suggested in: ~~IDEADEV-24472~~ and that does not resolve the issue. My idea.exe.vmoptions are:
-Xms32m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=120m
-ea
-agentlib:yjpagent=sessionname=IntelliJIDEA

I currently have 9 files open... a debugger connected to an OC4J 10 appserver and a couple of other tabs (including hierarchy , find, teamcity) tabs open.... (see screenshot for details

IDEA is taking 700 MB as shown in the task manager. This seems a bit excessive. I've uploaded a memory dump file: 7656_oiabdulmatin_13.02.2008_10.50.16.zip

None of the snapshots you have sent demonstrate any excessive memory usage or a memory leak. The memory shown in the task manager directly depends on your -Xmx setting: if you allow JVM to take 512M, Task Manager will show that + a certain VM overhead.
