I'm very happy to see the variety of new features that Europa brings with
it. Unfortunately, my experience has show a major performance degradation
between 3.2.2 and 3.3
I will go into more details below and hope you can point me in the correct
direction so I can address it and our company can start using the latest
and greatest.
We do C/C++ development for Linux (but the poor performance applies to
everything about Eclipse, it's not just CDT) and our compilation takes
place on a Linux build server.
Since all our workstations are windows, we have Eclipse installed on the
build server and individuals use XWin32 or Exceed to render Eclipse on
their PC (although Eclipse is actually running on the build server).
This has worked out nicely with Eclipse 3.2; the lag is hardly noticeable.
We have begun testing Eclipse 3.3 deployed in this paradigm and the lag is
prominent. We did our comparisons on the same server, same PC, same XWin
client, same JVM args, same plugins (just new versions).
The test is simple. I start Eclipse (blank workspace) then Window >
Preferences and click down the list of categories. I can see the
individual preference pages render in the right portion. With 3.2 I can
click down this list at full speed and things move. With 3.3 Eclipse gets
behind me and my clicks are still being processed after I'm done.
Of course this problem isn't just isolated to the preferences window, I am
using that as a concrete example since it is a rather base piece of
eclipse and not specific to any one sub-feature.
Also, when exiting the application, I click the close window X and it just
sits there for 10 seconds (sometimes I get the hour-glass). I don't know
what it's doing and 3.2 did not do this.
I'd really like to upgrade, but our developers will slam Eclipse hard if
something like this is delivered to them.

Are you hit by the GTK/Printer bug?
