ANTLRWorks 3.2 on a Mac OS X 10.6.2, regular download from the ANTLR site so I 
don't believe it is Eclipse hoasted, is showing different odd behaviors on a 
large grammar file and a .stg file I am editing, that I suspect are related.

First, the syntax checking runs after every keystroke. As most changes in words 
or strings etc. result in an invalid token the console gets flooded with 
errors. This would be greatly reduced if the checking were performed only after 
any carriage return, or better yet, when the code is generated.

Second, it will sometimes give messages that it is running short of memory that 
can be temporarily fixed by closing other applications, particularly 
applications that run Java code.

Third it will sometimes slow down to a crawl with no messages. I suspect, but 
don't know how to prove, that this is a symptom of stressed garbage collection 
due to short memory.

It would not surprise me that both of the last two are indirect symptoms of the 
first problem. In particular I suspect it is keeping track of edits to an 
unnecessary level of detail.
