In 4.0 the baseline memory footprint of NB should not grow by more than 20%. The increase is tolerated if it's needed to improve UI responsiveness of the IDE. We also need to actively track down memory leaks and fix all known leaks before going to release.
These issues are planned as Sun's "must have" contribution to NetBeans 4.0 and are considered to be "high level" issues. That is why changing the type to FEATURE and priority to P1.
Depends on a definition of baseline memory footprint. What footprint - perceived or real, whole app or Java heap (+perm size?), after OOB start or w/ some project? Anyway we have increased mx from 96M to 128M.
