Hi Guys,

about a week ago, Java compiling (in Eclipse) suddenly got very slow on my laptop.

It now takes as long to build after a single change to a single file as a clean and full rebuild (approx 30 seconds). It seems like incremental build has somehow been switched off. However, from my research it seems like there is no setting for this, so my diagnosis may be wrong.

I do not see this problem when building this workspace using an identical copy of Eclipse (Galileo) and JDK on another PC.

Nothing else on my laptop is running slow so it seems to be some Eclipse thingy.
I am running JDK 1.5_11 - the same version I have been running for months. My laptop has no internet connection so no automatic updates.

I can see nothing that seems relevant in the error log.

Any ideas?
