Well, I found some sort of solution -

Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Indexer

* untick automatic indexing.

* untick "index source files not included in the build"

* untick "index unused headers"

 

Can anyone explain me why you would index ... and re-index ...

and re-index again and again ... source and header files

that are currently not used ?

 

I was including "boost 1.57.0" with zillions of class templates,

but my code only used a small subset of it - but apparently

*everything* in reach was indexed !
