I'm using Eclipse + the Android SDK on a Mac running Snow Leopard to develop Android apps.
Thing is, Eclipse is really slow - like, it "beach balls" for a few seconds when changing tabs.
Is there anything I can do to improve it's performance?

A:
The solution: change the Java version used and increase the allocated memory.
Edit eclipse.ini - this file is located Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini.
Change the following vars to use Java 1.6 and allocate more memory:
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion = 1.6
-Xms128m
-Xmx1024m

Unfortunately this doesn't actually help. I did all the recommended things but it is still tremendously slow. I'm thinking to switch to a text-editor and a terminal.
