As you know Aptana is Eclipse. And Eclipse is a Java-based IDE
|
|||
|
|
which means it's not particularly a speedy one. However if you have a
|
|||
|
|
decent amount of ram, like 4gb, it's fairly easy to speed the Eclipse
|
|||
|
|
up. Find `eclipse.ini` or `aptana.ini` or other file which
|
|||
|
|
contents look similar. These settings are from my Linux box - I know that
|
|||
|
|
MacOS can get scared by higher values there; if you encounter any problems - try lowering the `Xmx`
|
|||
|
|
and/or others.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
|
|||
|
|
512m
|
|||
|
|
--launcher.defaultAction
|
|||
|
|
openFile
|
|||
|
|
-vmargs
|
|||
|
|
-Xms128m
|
|||
|
|
-Xmx2048m
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
These settings are for the 4gb ram box, try to find the ones which suit you best. `MaxPermSize`
|
|||
|
|
stands for the maximum amount of the memory to be used by the Java
|
|||
|
|
internals, `Xms` gives the amount of heap allocated on the VM start and
|
|||
|
|
`Xmx` is the heap size limit. Start by upping `Xms` value as it's often
|
|||
|
|
too small which causes the Java VM to make lots of heap resizes on the
|
|||
|
|
app start.
