To reduce the memory footprint, I’m using Eclipse to develop, but still launching a runtime RSA.

To do this, install RSA and eclipse (separately), then in your eclipse:

Install the JRE:
1. Windows > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs
2. Add c:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\jdk\jre
3. Tick its tick-box

Set the Target Platform:
1. Windows > Preferences > Plugin-in Development > Target Platform
2. Browse for c:\Program Files\IBM\SDP
3. Tick “Build target platform based on the target’s installed plugins”
4. Click “Reload”

Running as RSA
1. Run > Run Configurations
2. Change the Run as product to: com.ibm.rational.rsa4ws.product.v75.ide (or equivalent)

Tada! I’ve found I get far less out of memory errors and things are generally quicker.
