And try to give the system a larger heap size by using -Xms and -Xmx. I found it quite effective on one of the systems with very limited resources. These arguments are not limited to eclipse, I believe you can also use them on netbeans. Eclipse is said to be faster as SWT is meant to be of lighter weight than AWT, however, eclipse itself is more sophisticated than netbeans. I guess you should try both out, with different jvm settings, see which works the best. HTH. -- Joe -- Money can't buy everything.
