Improving the performance of Eclipse

I often used to get frustrated with the speed of eclipse on my machine. Then I heard from my friend how I can increase the initial memory allocated to Eclipse. U just have to pass values from the command prompt using the vmargs argument.

eclipse -vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx256m

This single change, gave me a very good "perceived" performance benifit while using the IDE.
