Why does Tasktop seem to use so much memory?

The heap status that is reported in Eclipse should be the actual memory usage of the application. Java reserves memory based on the -Xmx argument that is specified (512M is specified for Tasktop via the Tasktop.ini in the program directory). This shouldn’t impact the performance of Tasktop or other applications since much of this reserved memory is unused. Also, under windows, Internet Explorer can take up a large amount of memory and this will also be reported under Tasktop’s memory usage.
