Did he?
I thought he said cfeclipse was slow, or rather that it ate up his CPU. That
was an issue with the internal browser and has been fixed in the latest
code. Appologies if I mis-represented him.

Jolly good. I don't intend to get involved in one :)

I'm curious why you have 2 windows open side by side.
I don't think that's how Eclipse is intended to be used unless I've
misunderstood you. Given that I've never used Eclipse on a mac that's
entirely possible. I think Eclipse is supposed to be used as a single window
instance inside which you perform all the tasks for any project.

I can't really comment on much of the deleted stuff because I'm not using a
Mac here for comparison.

Text selection does tend to be slow in Eclipse. I think that's partly
because Java isn't the best language in the world when it comes to dealing
with strings.
