I find that Eclipse 3.0 on win2k after start takes up 30 MB with no open
projects and 75 MB after opening and rebuilding two "real-life"
projects. I don't think I have ever seen it above 150 MB in peak memory
use, but I regularly see it drop down to 2 MB when minimized and 20-30
MB just after normalize. From daily usage, I percieve Eclipse as an
application that has very good control over its memory usage and as an
IDE I think it has a good balance between memory usage and speed of
access to feature.
