Why don't you just run Eclipse 32-bit? The 64-bit JVM is generally
much slower and I cannot imagine why you would need a 4GB Heap size
when running Eclipse. You get no benefits from running it 64-bit.
That is one of the reasons Eclipse itself has been slow to add an
official 64-bit version. The need is just fairly minimal.
TortoiseSVN has to be 64-bit because on a Windows 64-bit installation
the Explorer shell is 64-bit.
