Re: Eclipse is slow -- what's the alternative?

I'm starting to get tired of Eclipse -- it's slow and pauses frequently.

Does anyone know if there is a way to speed it up? (I'm already giving it plenty of memory). Are any speed improvements in the works?

Is it worth switching to another IDE?

I don't know your specs, but I run it on an Intel Pentium III 866hmz and 512Mo or RAM and it works fine with a project of 1000 classes.

I assume you are using the last 3.1.1 release of Eclipse.

Which JRE are you using ? I found out that the 1.6.0 pre-release works the best, 1.4.2 is second. 1.5.0 freezes the system a lot.

Also, I use the following parameters:
-vmargs -Xverify:none -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:PermSize=20M -XX:MaxNewSize=32M -XX:NewSize=32M -Xms128M -Xmx256M
.
