Slow display of editor tabs

["Mark Curtain" <mcurtain@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sometimes when I choose different tabs in the editor it can take up to 10
seconds to display the desired file tab during which time there is no
hourglass for the cursor.  It seems to be grinding away on the disk for that
time so I am assuming that it is the garbage collector at work.

So my question is in 2 parts:

1. Am I right in that it is the garbage collector?
2. Is there a way to use incremental garbage collection with Eclipse?
