Q: 

How can I reduce the time that Eclipse PDT needs to startup?

I'm a very patient guy but seems very annoying the long time that Eclipse takes to let me start working.

Why is that? I have a clean PDT distribution download form the Zend site. No extra plugins added.

Is this only happening to me? Does anyone else notice this delay?

Best, Demian

+2  A: 

Run eclipse from the command line with these arguments to assign more memory to it:

eclipse -vmargs -Xms512m -Xmx1g

Note: I assume you have a RAM of 2 or more gigs
