Has anybody else noticed that GWT dev mode is able to refresh/reload relatively quickly (10-20sec) for the first 3-5 times then takes 5 plus minutes to reload beyond that?

It seems to be a memory related problem. I added a bunch more RAM to my machine, then gave eclipse more memory in it's ini file and I can go a day of programming without it slowing down. Here is my ini file 

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.100.v20110502
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms256m
-Xmx1024m
