[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Autocompletion and Typing Sluggish - PDT2.0.0GA

[tim@xxxxxxxxx (Tim College)]

I'm running Ubuntu on a dual-core laptop with 3GB of RAM.

When typing, Eclipse/PDT often hangs on attempts to show me auto-complete 
options.  It becomes unresponsive for a few seconds, then "works" again.

Also (related?) some times typing gets so slow that I'll be almost a line 
or two ahead of the screen, and I need to stop and wait for Eclipse to 
catch up.

I never had these sorts of issues with Europa/PDT1.

I edited my eclipse.ini file to increase memory - here's what I did:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
1024m
-vmargs
-Xms256m
-Xmx1024m

That actually helped, but has not solved the issue.  When it's happening, 
Eclipse is usually using ~300MB, so I'm not sure that increasing it 
further will help (but I'm going to try ;) )

The project that I'm working with is not small - probably close to 4000 
php files.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
Tim
