OK, this is good information. You are, in fact, running out of memory -- somehow.
I've see this, but seldom as performance starts to suck for me long before. How exactly are you allocating memory for Java? How are you starting Eclipse? And when you were checking how much memory Eclipse was using, how did you check that, exactly? It sounds like you used the task manager -- what is the exact title of the column you used? Task manager is not ideal for looking at this, but the only column that is actually relevant out of the 7 memory columns available is "Memory - Commit size". But the relationship between that and Java's GC'd heap memory allocation is tenuous. About the only thing you can say is that Memory - Commit size" will be greater than the amount of memory Java is actively using in its heap. Did you check your paging file space? That's another way you can run out of memory. And finally, it may report this error when you've run out of native threads. That is, in fact, WHERE you are running out of memory, though it may not be the specific cause. Check the Threads column. With Galileo, and Rev 6 of the Android SDK tools, I don't see a thread leak. In fact, my thread count was initially 47, went up to 52 briefly while auto-building my project, and then as I started looking at layouts, it has gone down to 37, and I don't seem to find anything with layouts that bumps it up at all. If you see a different behavior, then we have a clue. (Otherwise, it's still a clue, but a weak one).
