10 years is a long time and Eclipse then and now are two very, very different things. Eclipse is amazingly fast for what it does, I think.

Only started using IntelliJ about 3-4 years back (due to Android development) so I don't have any comparison from older days there.

Android Studio is pretty slow for a Jetbrains(-based) IDE. I think it really depends on the plugins. Rider (C#) is amazingly fast on my machine, but Webstorm (TS) is slow and less "intelligent". When I used Android Studio, its bad performance was mainly due to Gradle in my experience.
