Would you please give details? What exactly is slower, and by how much?

I have used NetBeans and Eclipse for years, often on the same machine for the same code base. While I know of many areas that differ between them, I am curious to know which can be characterized as speed of the IDE itself.

What is a good set of metrics for an IDE's utility? What is the best set of metrics?
