I don't think I want to hijack the list to tune my computer.  I
typically run itunes, a mail reader, and maybe Acrobat reader.  I have
(IIRC) a single plugin (oxygen xml) installed.

Unless you are one of those who refuses to file bugs on moral grounds, at the least send Apple a system profile and a thread dump if you have one. This way, it will be tracked. (No obligation, of course.)

any of the other things you mention are possibilities, of course, but
are beside the point, which is that eclipse is slower than I'd like.
I don't see why I should allow Java's GC/swap interactions to come into the picture. maybe I would then *understand* the problem, but I wouldn't feel any better about it.

If the problem is a runaway swap partition, that might explain why you see the problem, and others do not. You might be running a selection of apps that pushes eclipse, incorrectly or not, into swap.

Perhaps more importantly, confirming or disproving the hypothesis might allow Apple to isolate the problem. I know Eclipse is important to at least one Apple guy, as he was posting at eclipse.org on a slowdown bug.

Obviously, you are under no obligation to do any testing at all. Since, though, you do feel it is slow, it might be in your interest to let them know that.)

FWIW, Eclipse 3.1.1 is reasonably zippy on both my Powerbook 1.5/1G and my desktop G5/2.0x2, but the desktop does not seem all that much faster than the powerbook. Neither is what I would call lightning fast, but neither is slow. (Typing, for example, does not seem to lag, and file opens are reasonably snappy, but closing editor windows seems to have a noticeable lag.)
