fascinating.

I use eclipse exclusively on the mac, so I can't make any comparisons
to the windows version.  however, I'd rate the performance of eclipse
on my 1GHz/1GB Powerbook as just barely acceptable.  Startup, which I
just timed for the first time, takes about a minute, and that was
immediately after shutting down a previously running instance, for
whatever difference that might make.

this is eclipse 3.1.1, btw.

once things are up and running, there are occasional pauses, and I get
probably one crash every two weeks.  but it is able to keep up with my
typing, at least, which the 2.x versions of eclipse were never able to
do.
