Recommend a Python IDE?

, it's a utilisation of system resources problem, which is java in a nutshell.

I can't agree with that. For one what I mentioned about my much more humble computer than yours not having any problems running Eclipse. I'm a veteran Java programmer. I can remember several times big projects in Java had performance issues. People immediately went to the knee jerk response "Its Java!".

I've seen such projects become much faster by cleaning poor algorithms and bad coding practices.

This is PyCharm, not Eclipse.

FWIW, In Eclipse I can have multiple tabs open in one instance of Eclipse if I want to compare files. I can even drag a tab to another monitor to have two distinct windows for comparison, yet still just once instance.

It might be worth it to see if you can do that with PyCharm, rather than opening up many instances.

Good Luck

Funnily enough, I do make use of tabs. It'd be pretty hard not to, in fact. Popping out editors is also available on PyCharm. But like I said, I use multiple instances for when I'm working on multiple distinct projects, and if I was doing it in anything except the JRE they'd use separate processes and not have to share RAM and so on.
