A simple plugin for Eclipse that uses two functions in the Windows API - SetProcessWorkingSetSize() and VirtualLock() - to encourage Windows to keep more of the Eclipse Java process in physical RAM.

Ever notice Eclipse occasionally sluggishness and lagging, where it won't accept keystrokes or even redraw the window for up to 10-20 seconds? This plugin attempts to attack that problem.

The plugin is tiny and very effective for me. It has completely eliminated the lag and slowdowns I used to experience.

Amazing! Didn't understand why Eclipse was keeping on lagging with the huge bunch of memory I allocated. Also the company antivirus was topping 99%cpu all of the time: scanning swapped files I guess and making the process even more painful. Now memory is more effectively used, antivirus keeps quiet and Eclipse is smooth and pleasant again. Brilliant.

Very useful - especially when dealing with large workspaces

It really fastens eclipse up. But like everything that is loaded in memory, it needs more time to load. After loading it is like working with a "native" tool and not an java application. ;-)

This plugin works well and Eclipse seems to respond considerably faster. Too bad that this bug requires a plugin-workaround, it would be better if it just got fixed in Eclipse.

Saw this a while back and lost track of it. I've been searching for this plugin for six months! I'm so glad I finally found it!
