Eclipse is Java based. You need a decent machine and decent amount of RAM.
More tips -
a) Install only what you need
Eclipse is a universe of things written by different people and you can
easily find yourself running tons of stuff that arrived as dependencies.
It used to take me a while to figure out how to install what I need
without installing what I don't need. In the latest version of Eclipse
this became easier, especially using the Europa Discovery site.
b) Try alternative ways of doing things
For instance committing a file using the Subclipse perspective takes
forever (on a large project) - it seems the Subclipse perspective
updates the whole project after the commit. Committing the same file
from within the PDT perspective takes seconds.
c) I/O access is critical
PDT does a lot of thing on save, for example. Slow I/O (hard drive) or
concurrent access may slow your Eclipse a lot.
Apart from that Eclipse is excellent and is improving.
