Adjust Heap space
The available heap space size directly affects the performance of impulse - especially if your are handling large signal data. To give impulse (and eclipse) enough buffers, you need to:
eclipse [normal arguments] -vmargs -Xmx2048M [more VM args]
-startup plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20120522-1813.jar --launcher.library plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.200.v20120913-144807 -showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256m --launcher.defaultAction openFile -vmargs -Xms512m -Xmx2048m -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:PermSize=256M -XX:MaxPermSize=512M
You should adjust the heap at least to 2048M. I you have, give it more.
Linux Users
If you are faced with strange problems like empty menus, the GTK version might be the problem.
In most cases the problems can be solved by switching to GTK 2:
--launcher.GTK_version 2
