[4.0 EA3] Massive memory consumption

Hi,

I'm on a Win7-64b machine, and have just installed SQLDev 4.0 EA3.

On startup, sqldeveloper64W.exe is taking 365Mb. As soon as I connect to a database it climbs to 484, and after running one script (can be as simple as: select sysdate from dual;) it climbs further to 565Mb.

Toad on the otherhand is sitting between 118-and 250Mb...

Is this going to going to be natural behavior for sqldeveloper? Or just the EA's?

Thanks.

Russell H

Java Visual VM is showing SQL Dev EA3 on my Win7x64 machine to be currently using 130M-240MB of RAM. For java applications it's not really accurate to trust what windows task manager reports.

Hi Russell,

Adding to Jeff's comment, if it makes you feel any better, switching to the 32-bit JDK lets Task Manager show only about 1/2 the memory utilization.

Regards,
Gary
