I use Eclipse with [PyDev](http://pydev.org/) to develop Python code, and I wouldn't want to miss all its useful IDE features. One thing is a little annoying: The latency between when I type and when the source code changes is a little to high. (Not as snappy as, for example, Sublime Text 2.)

Is this due to overhead of some editor features which can be disabled? Can I do something to tune my editor settings for speed and responsiveness?

File size might be a factor, but it's hard to tell. It is not fast enough with small files.
