Hello Eric

I'm using Eclipse every Day and it can be very fast.  The trick is to alter 
the eclipse.ini file (same folder as eclipse.exe).  The default one is ok for 
the java stuff and little C/C++ projects, but for the major ones like boost 
and KDE java runs out of memory which make eclipse slow or even crash.  
This is the content of my eclipse.ini

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-vmargs
-XX:PermSize=256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Xms1024m
-Xmx1024m

which makes eclipse fast as lightning on my 64Bit Linux, 4GB Ram, E6600 Box.

Best,
