Hi!
If you would like to speed up Eclipse a little bit you should try to deactivate a few "unnecessary" plugins.
First figure out which plugin you want to deactivate then look for its directory in the plugin folder in eclipse dir and then rename the plugin.xml to somewhat else ignore_plugin.xml. (But be aware of that Plugins Dependencies)
Eclipse won't load this plugin at the next start.
HTH & So long,
Tom
