Description Robert Munteanu CLA 2011-04-08 07:15:55 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20110218-0911

Analysing the (IMO) large memory footprint of Eclipse I've found that one single ZipFile entry takes up 176 MB. This entry corresponds to the com.sun.xml.bind_2.2.0.v201011030300.jar from the MRUBundleFileList ( screenshot #1 ). On disk, the file has 937056 bytes and 712 entries, so this seems excessive to me. In comparison, the next largest ZipFile takes 28MB. ( screenshot #2 ).

I have saved an memory dump so I can offer more specific information if needed.

JVM information:

java version "1.7.0-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-ea-b134)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0-b04, mixed mode)

VM arguments:

-XX:+AggressiveOpts
-XX:+UseCompressedOops
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
-Xmx768m
-XX:NewRatio=3
-Xss256k

OS information:
OpenSUSE 11.4
Linux raptor 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-02-21 10:34:10 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
No special steps to reproduce, after regular usage I take a HPROF dump of Eclipse.

Comment 3 Thomas Watson CLA 2011-04-08 08:20:53 EDT 
The fact that any of ZipFile object takes up multiple MBs of heap is surprising to me, let alone 176 MB.  I wonder if this is a bug in Java 7.
Comment 4 Robert Munteanu CLA 2011-04-29 03:33:53 EDT 
This is likely a bug in the EA version of Java 7. It seems to have went away with 1.7.0-ea-b140 , possibly due to http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/jdk/rev/98688c4be64b .

Thanks for reporting back Robert!  I will close as not eclipse.
