You seems having large java files edited thus little more heap memory should be specified. Please, try adjusting -Xmx setting in idea.exevmoptions (e.g. -Xmx256m)

Jon Steelman - 25 Jan 08 19:38
Is it time to change the default to -Xmx256m? It has been defaulted to 196 for a while now and the average machine has a lot more memory.

Jon Steelman - 25 Jan 08 19:43
Plus the average Java project has become much larger and the largest Java files in those projects are also larger.

I was using -Xmx512m and now I've increased to -Xmx700m

I have not seen leaks in your snapshot thus thus reformulating issue as 'Provide higher default maximum memory setting'

Please do this to the Macintosh Info.plist as well. I find myself editing that file every time a new release comes out. I run with -Xms256 -Xmx1024m because I have a very large project.

Maxim Mossienko - 01 Feb 08 17:53
-Xmx256m was set for Mac as well

Jon Steelman - 01 Feb 08 19:50
I have to do the same, editing the file on every EAP install. Maxim, it would be a pleasure if this could be saved somewhere else that you didn't have to edit after every install.
