I hear that Kepler is faster than Juno but I am still seeing slow response.

Where I see it the slowest is when I do an "Open Type". If my project has lots of JARs in the referenced libraries section, the searching takes a long time before the results come back. If I narrow the search by using "Working Set" that only points to the source and not the JARs, it is pretty fast but that prohibits me from doing certain searches.

Same applies to the auto complete or context assist. It takes so long that it times out and an error window pops up.

This was not an issue with Indigo or prior versions so some kind of indexing or search algorithm that was introduced since Juno needs to be looked into.

My system:
Eclipse Kepler JEE
JDK 1.6 (-Xms512m -Xmx896m)
Windows XP sp3
3 gb RAM
