Why is Eclipse so slow to load a file?
I double click a file in the Project Explorer and it takes as long as 5 seconds before it appears as a new editor tab!
I hear people complaining about Eclipse's speed but it hasn't been true for me -- everything else generally runs fine except for this. Computer has 8 procs at 2.8GHz and 16 gigs of RAM on a 64 bit Fedora. I don't think the bottleneck is there!
I imagine there's some sort of indexing happening. Is there some features I could turn off to get these load times to be reasonable?
Using CDT and PyDev - the problem exists in both places. My about page says Fedora Eclipse 3.4.2.
