Actually, OSGi is a key point in the performance improvements in the
upcoming Eclipse 3.1. It was introduced in 3.0 but many plugins were
still written on the previous kernel API, and the more plugins move to
the OSGi API, the more startup time increases and memory used decreases,
by allowing on-demand loading of plugins.

the performance boost is incredible! Eclipse is up and running within about 5
