Is it possible to use Eclipse with less memory?

Today, I've seen a program called Minimem (for Windows), to reduce memory footprints of memory-heavy applications. Fortunately, I have one big memory-heavy application called "Eclipse" :)

I have downloaded Minimem from its website (http://minimem.kerkia.net/) and set up to optimize memory usage of Eclipse. Numbers say it is really working but I'll continue testing for a while. 

Give it a try if you have memory problems related to Eclipse, or any other memory-heavy application.

minimem force memory page out.
This save some memory at the cost of more disk i/o. If you are actively using eclipse, running minimem on it would only make it slower.
