Texlipse - High CPU-Usage, slow editor

[muh2k4]

Hey there.

Iam working with Texlipse, a LateX-Editor for Eclipse, to write my Diploma.
I encounter the problem that it is really CPU-consuming. I work on an CoreDuo 1.66Ghz with 1.5GB Ram. When writing a new paragraph its ok, but when it starts getting longer the cursor starts to fall behind my typingspeed.
Then things go fast an i sometimes have to wait over 30 seconds for the editor to catch up. Its like he parses the document with every new letter i type.
The document isn't even long, maybe 3 pages. =(

Now i tried the following:
Under Window -> Preferences -> Texlipse -> Editor i disabled Automatic Parsing and Content Assist

But this totally made no impact on the performance. The compilation on the other hand is really fast ... it doesn't take longer than a second.

Maybe you have some idea. I really want to hold on to this editing platform, since it integrates the CVS-Client so well!

thx David

After wasting three days of experimental time i figured it out.
As it seems eclipse didn't like the used JavaRuntime-Environment.
Switching to sun-java1.6 saved the day.

Hey,

you aren't the only one. I am facing this problem currently, too. Almost half a year after you. I'll try your solution, thank you for posting it!

Solution was replacing iced tea jre with sun java jre, which is faster! However it wasn't really faster, which I consider the soft wrapping as responsible. I switched to KILE, damn.
