Now i tried one thing: i uninstalled all Java 64 bit and replaced by Java 32 Bit. Then i updated the JAVA_HOME to point to the new location and rebooted my Windows 10 notebook.

Android Studio already comes with the 32-bit flavor, but you need to download a specific 32-bit version of Eclipse.

Now i get this:

  • ~1GB for the IDE
  • 360MB for Gradle
  • 120MB for a running Java app

I also downgraded FireFox to 32 bits, and now it takes half memory.

HTH,
