Maybe yor are running different version of Eclipse? I have a feeling that Ganymede is slower than Europa.

FWIW, I also find eclipse (Ganymede) to be a bit slow on my 2.4Ghz Mac Book Pro (Mac OS X). I think I'll splash out for a solid state disk as soon I find one with good ratings.

Yeah I'm running Ganymede - was running Europa - seems a bit slower, but not significantly.

I'm using Java and C/C++ at the moment - but I used a base install and then added the bits I wanted. Maybe the J2EE/whatever Eclipse releases have a whole lot of other cruft? Not sure, but it's plenty usable for me.
