We already discussed this a week or two ago. Eclipse *with useless 
plugins disabled* works rather quickly on *modern* machines. That means, 
on Sun Java 6/7 JVM and Eclipse 3.6. SWT performance depends on your 
graphics drivers and also the SWT's libraries are improving constantly. 
The JVM can make use of multiple cores (e.g. parallel garbage collection) 
and over 1 GB of memory (remember to tune your jvm settings)! You can 
also improve the slow startup times with a disk cache and/or raid-0 setup 
and/or ssd disks. Surprising, eh?!
