Eclipse Kepler too slow in Ubuntu [message #1072145]

Hi,

Recently I downloaded the Juno Release 2 but its odd behaviour made me switch back to release 1.

Today I downloaded the Kepler release and it seems to be behaving just as bad. When I open a file in the editor and start scrolling with the mouse button it takes about three seconds for the page to scroll. I'm also getting red wiggles everywhere even though all the header files are included. The program builds but the editor is filled with hundreds of red wiggles. I'm really not impressed. I'm thinking of ditching eclipse altogether.

When I switched back to Juno Release 1, I got the same red wiggles and the solution was to copy back the backed up version of the project. It seems the Kepler corrupted the config file.

I'm building using GCC / G++ and not the internal cross compiler.

Platform: Ubuntu 12.10.

g++: (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.2-2ubuntu1) 4.7.2

Thanks in advance for any help.

I use OpenSuse, Kepler is fine for me, faster than Helios. Juno SR2 was not usable.

What about your memory settings in eclipse.ini? I suggest to enable current memory usage output: Window => Preferences => General => Show Heap Status = on
