hello,
i'm running eclipse v3.02 (have been for a while). i upgraded my mac os
to v10.4. eclipse becomes progressively slower/unresponsive fairly
quickly (within 10-30 minutes after launch). opening a file, closing a
file, even alt-tabbing into eclipse goes from being fairly immediate (~ 1
second) to taking 5-6 seconds each. eclipse basically becomes completely
unusable. the process monitor doesn't show anything unusual. only
eclipse is affected (no other processes).
is anyone else experiencing this??
thanks, eitan

I don't ever quit eclipse - except before I reboot.
I think it must depend on how much memory you have, I've got 1.5GB of
ram and I can watch it get consumed as I use eclipse. Using Activity
Monitor, its clear that things are different in 10.4 - maybe Activity
Monitor is broken but my "free memory" gets used up really quickly and
the numbers don't seem to add up, its like some process is slowly
staking out memory and not returning it. (maybe its eclispe!)
I rebooted yesterday, fired up all my usual apps, including eclipse and
while I'm down to the minimal 16 - 20 MB free memory now, eclipse is
still usable.
I believe that's because the OS doesn't need to swap much at the moment.
Continued usage, DVDPlayer, iTunes, iPhoto may contribute to the
swapping problem and lead to the issues with eclipse that you and I (and
a guy over in e.t.jdt) experience, but I'm just starting day 2 and
haven't had the problem yet... I'm sure we're not alone but I can't seem
to find other reports of this. Some folks are reporting poor performance
in PhotoShop and other large content apps - maybe its the same thing...
So, I can go a day or 2 before I need to reboot depending on how much
other stuff I use the powerbook for. I'll keep using eclipse under 10.4
- maybe I'll switch to java1.5 and v3.1.m6 to see if that helps and wait
for apple to fix this.
There is no going back to 10.3.9 as I need to use java1.5 in the near
future.

Ok, its the middle of day three - eclipse has started to act weird -
scrolling a java source is really slow. It took 6 seconds of rolling the
click wheel on my mouse to move entirely through a 236 line source file.
If I grab the slider on the side and try to use that it hardly moves at all.
It took 9+ seconds to bring up the ant build panel. (right click on
build.xml, select Run, select Ant Build... and then wait 9 seconds.)
Selecting a line and hitting delete in a source file, takes a second or
2 to "settle".
Guess its time to reboot again.
