Eclipse Ganymede startup on 64 bit vista is really slow

I've just changed computers at work and now have a really beefy 64bit Vista os. Currently I'm still slogging through the pile of quirks (like no 64bit drivers for ms access) and I've noticed that my startup time for eclipse is a LOT longer than it was on 32bit Vista.

PostMessage() on Vista64 behaves weird

The scenario is like Process A invokes certain function foo in Process B, that actually does a PostMessage() on Process C. Process A invokes the function foo when then there is a WM_KEYDOWN message.
