Try using 'top' to watch I/O (disk) activity during the audio breakups. If
memory constraints or swapping isn't a probable cause (as indicated by 1 GB
free), then contested I/O may be.
An experiment is to run Eclipse using incremental GC, and see if anything
changes. Here's how to make NetBeans use Mark&Sweep GC, from which you can
extrapolate the changes to Eclipse:

Even if nothing changes, at least you'll have eliminated a possible
culprit, which may be useful.
