Also if your total heap size is small (it should be set to 1024K), you can increase it by editing the eclipse.ini file and changing the -Xmx parameter to a different value. However two things: Make sure it is in multiples of 512 (512, 1024, 1536, 2048) and make sure you factor in your available physical memory (I recommend no more than 25% of it; in my case I have it set to 2048, or 2GB, as I have 8GB of physical memory). Of course, the more heap tied up, it may affect your PC's performance.
I have seen where it fills up the heap fast; this is usually a memory leak introduced by IBM (I would think inadvertently) but it hasn't been as much of an issue of late. I haven't had it surge into the red zone when viewing the heap usage for quite some time now.

On a mild tangent....
Why is the heap filling up? How much RAM do you have? What are you doing when it fills up?
Go to Window>Preferences
Under General, check the "Show heap status" option
At the bottom of RDi, you should now see your current heap size and also have a button to run Garbage collection if it gets out of hand.

Well that didn't work either. Also, the sizes of the view windows are not remaining set either. I have no clue how Win 10 works, but all this used to work just fine on Win 7. It's starting to get annoying given that I have to close RDi all the time because the heap fills up and it freezes.

Is there a "remember the column setup" setting that might have
been
turned
off by mistake? I can't find one.
Yes, the right-most tool that says "View Menu" when you
hover
over
it has a selection for "Save column sizes."
Sincerely,
Dave Clark
Under the View menu, I have the following:
o Work with ->
o Subset...
o Show All
o Show columns ->
o Position to...
o Print...
o Export to File...
o Show Commands
o Preferences...
Nowhere do I see "Save column sizes. Do I need to activate a
preference to see this?
I usually save the perspective and that retains my choices including
column sizes in the Object Table view.
