I'm giving it a try now. Android and SVN plug-ins (the only ones I need at the moment) both installed just fine. It seems to start up a bit more quickly, but I don't have all of the plug-ins I had on the old install, so it's not really a fair comparison.

This doesn't seem to be a major release, so I'm not expecting miracles. Hopefully it will have better performance and less memory usage, though.

Update: It seems my dreams were short lived. Auto-complete seems to be absolutely horrible now. I'm getting a 30+s delay on pressing ctrl+space after typing the period on an EditText variable. Yuck.

strange, works fine for me

If you are on MacOS, the package contents contain the memory settings in eclipse.ini. I'd recommend bumping them up, particularly the maximum memory.

Here's what I am using:

-Xms512m -Xmx700m
