SQL Developer - High usage of memory !

Intel_024 Aug 5, 2013 8:22 AM

Hello All,

I have downloaded SQL Developer 4 today and when i started working on it, my computer memory started to IRK a lot. So when i checked in "Task Manager", i found something very strange.

The memory consumption was too high (almost 350 MB). Can someone tell me why is this version of SQL Developer is using such as huge amount of memory or is there some workaround for this issue.

I tried to attach the screenshot but that did not happen.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Aravind S

Why is that number, 'too much?'

What Windows reports is rarely accurate with Java applications.

How much RAM do you have on your machine, and how much was free when your machine started to misbehave?

open the java visual vm in the java/bin directory and find out how much memory it was REALLY using

I think it's more likely something else we were doing was causing your performance issue.
