just found your tarlog-utils, and they look useful. Then I found your blog, and it is interesting.
Related to this particular post, I want to ask: Have you tried running eclipse on JRockit? I think I have managed to delude myself into thinking that it is faster than the other JRE's. It costs $50 to run though: It eats a whole 2GB RAM stick!
The last time a tried Jrockit was few years ago with Weblogic (before BEA was acquired by Oracle). That time it was free for development use. Anyway I didn't try to run Eclipse with it that time. I'll consider trying it. I think I can get it without paying $50 :) However, using 2GB can be a showstopper.
Thank you for your comment! It's very nice to get a feedback, especially the positive one :)

Fun, though.
And thanks for the utils.

Oh, yeah, maybe I should mention, the really interesting thing about JRockit is that it's downloadable for free.
(I hope I don't sound too much like a spambot ...)
Btw, I've been trying the -XVerify:none flag, and it definitely isn't slowing things down. Eclipse is snappy enough for me now at least. So thanks.
