It’s weird though, since I am not facing the same problem with the same eclipse setup on Ubuntu. I noticed that the problem occurred only when editing large java files. There is no heavy use of plugins involved. I have increased the memory allocations to -Xmx1024m and -XX:MaxPermSize=512m.
My setup is MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz i7 8GB with SSD drive and it hasn’t had any serious performance issues so far. I am working on a fairly large project and have recently bumped into the good old friend of mine from the 90’s, typing lag.
