[news.eclipse.platform] Editors opening very slowly on Linux

[mefoster@xxxxxxxxx (Mary Ellen Foster)]

I'm using Eclipse 3.4.1 on Fedora, although colleagues who use Ubuntu have 
also seen similar issues. Every time I open a new file, it takes a 
perceptibly long time -- several seconds -- to actually open the editor 
window. I've tried with an empty .eclipse directory and a fresh workspace 
and with both GCJ 1.5 and OpenJDK 1.6, and it always happens.

Oddly, for me this is only on my desktop machine; I have no issue on my 
laptop, which is running the same version of Fedora.

Is this a known problem? Where should I look for suggestions?

Thanks,

MEF
