We have found this to be a real issue with the compiler/builder speed...
not so much with incremental changes but with full builds.
Please always keep in mind that several things outside of Eclipse can
affect your performance far more than a 20-50% improvement in a specific
algorithm inside eclipse code... such as your VM settings, your OS
(especially virtual memory settings) & available RAM, plus any network
traffic, as well as other applications running in the background.
Now if only I could turn off the virus checker anytime the builder wanted
to write a few thousand .class files. ;)
