Now code model consumes a lot of memory. And even if we reduce memory consumtion twice - or thrice - it won't help. If user creates project that is large enough, he'll finally get OutOfMemoryError. The problem is in the code model implementation design - it's too monolitic now; objects hard reference other objects, so the entire model should necessarily reside in memory. Code model implementation should be redesign so that the entire model won't reside necessarily in memory.
