What is Mylyns performance profile?
Mylyn should have no noticeable effect on Eclipse’s speed or memory usage, no matter how large your workspace is. You do not need to increase the amount of memory Eclipse runs with to use Mylyn. Any performance issue should be reported as a bug. The current performance profile is: • Mylyn only runs if a task is active, and has no impact on Eclipse if no task is active. • Task context models have negligible memory overhead. • When a task is active, additional view refresh is required to update the views based on interest model changes. This should not be noticeable on Windows where refresh is very quick, but could be more noticeable on other platforms. • The time to activate a task context is dominated by the time it takes Eclipse to open the editors in the context. You can set the preference for how many editors to open in the Mylyn preference page (e.g. setting to 1 will dramatically reduce activation time, but also remove the benefit of having open editors correspond to the task cont
