64-bit Eclipse ?


64-bit Eclipse(left screenshot) on Mac OSX is still a No-Go for me, it's very CPU hogging and can't be used as an efficient development tool ... 153.2% of CPU usage for rebuilding a project seems too high for me but 32-bit Eclipse (right screenshot) scored 126.6% is not conceivable too.

I may have missed something, but should I test 64-bit Eclipse with 64-bit kernel to get a better performance number ? unfortunately Apple will not support 64 EFI for my aged MacPro 1.1 ... :( should have done my homework before I bought this 4-year-old MacPro ... well, smart people sometimes make stupid mistakes let alone a regular person like me ...

Symbolic link on Windows

For a long time Linux/Unix user I sometimes complain that Windows is not so cool as Linux because it lacks symbolic link, but not anymore now ... symlinker can do the job for you on Windows Vista and 7.
