Even after having a pc with a decent configuration, the eclipse takes too long to start up and works a little slow. I am having a pc with an 8 Gb ram, a 2 GB latest graphics card, and an SSD inbuilt but whenever I start eclipse it takes a while to start up. I had also compared the starting up time with other IDE's similar to eclipse ( IntelliJ and android studio) and found it is not the case with these IDE's. Eclipse takes around 30 seconds to around a minute to start up. I have used eclipse in the past but back then I never faced or felt anything like this. It may be something with my pc or there is some problem. I have been looking online and found a lot of other people having an issue with the booting time and slow working of the eclipse. sometimes it just hangs for a second like a frame drop in a video and it feels a little disturbing and annoying. please have a look at the problem.
Which version do you use?
Is a virus scanner interfering? Exclude Eclipse and %HOME%\.p2 from the virus scanner? Is your workspace on a local disk? If you have projects imported from git repositories: are the git repositories and their working directories on a local disk?
There is a note to Windows 10 users on the New and Noteworthy page, though that issue affects any Java process (or for that matter any process accessing jar files): https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.19/ Which links to Bug 548443, see also here: https://github.com/microsoft/java-wdb/issues/9
Latest I-build also starts super slow for me. It even seems to hang sometimes since todays I-build. Jörg, do you see the same?

Compared to your expectations, it is 1 seconds slower, 10, 100 seconds or 10 times slower? I'm running the latest nightly and don't see anything suspicious, but I've never measured startup times. If it is reproducible, please create some jstack dumps.
(In reply to Lars Vogel from comment #4) > sometimes since todays I-build. Jörg, do you see the same? tested I20211027: started 10 times in ~4 sec thats normal.

Compared to your expectations, it is 1 seconds > slower, 10, 100 seconds or 10 times slower? ~30 seconds instead of 4-8 seconds which I typically see on Windows. But looks like this only happens if I run a screensharing software (Goto Meeting), so my case is not a windows case. @Ishika, do you still see this slow startup with latest I-build from https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/?
