But, like anything with GC, it really depends on the Object allocation rate and size of objects being generated. For example, I have a *ton* of projects that I ad-hocly contribute to (scaring the living daylights out of many project owners ;p), so when I start Eclipse it gets hit pretty hard as it loads up lots of classes, frameworks, plugins and so on. That's a high object allocation rate of lots of variably sized objects, a GC's worst nightmare. However, when I code, I'm *slow*, so I don't tend to tax Eclipse too heavily once I'm up and running compared to a real dev :-).I've been running Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans on JDK8 for a while. They remain very slow. I am still not convinced they offer anything truly beneficial over using Emacs — or Vim for those who cannot bring themselves to use the One True Editor — and Bash (or you shell of choice).
