[Gvsig_english] gvSIG 1.12 and editing big tables - a problem?

[Benjamin Ducke]

Hi Wolfgang,

have you tried updating the Java VM your gvSIG runs on to
the latest Sun 1.6 version? Memory management, garbage collection
etc. has been greatly improved over the last two years or so
since 1.6 first came out. I imagine this would make editing large
tables a lot "snappier". Worth a try, anyhow.
