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.
