title: Eclipse Helios having performance problems Mac OS X 10.6.5
body: <p>Short Story:  My house was broken into MacBook Pro among stolen items.  Bought a new MacBook restored from TimeMachine drive including Eclipse folder.  System files could not be restored because hardware was slightly different.  I did a system update and updated to 10.6.5 and Java 1.6.0_22, all the latest.  I run Eclipse Helios for Java development for college assignments.</p>
  
  <p>The problem I am having is that when I run Eclipse and start coding when I get to a method of any type when eclipse usually throws up an auto-complete type box underneath the current line the program hangs for a few seconds while it loads / moves through the list depending on how fast I am typing.  Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>JTextField txt = new JTextField();
  txt.get....
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I could type the second line out pretty quickly as I know what I am looking for but the program will hang (multicolor swirly mac icon will replace pointer).  Eclipse process will spike to 100% and I will not be able to do anything until the auto-complete box finishes whatever it could possibly be doing and the suggestion moves down to "getText()" or whatever the list beginning with "get" contains.  </p>
  
  <p>Things I have done to correct include, re-downloading and installing eclipse into another location, creating a new workplace in that eclipse install, re-creating the projects and code files by hand (i.e. not importing anything).  The problem still persist. </p>
  
  <p>I am not seasoned enough in Java to abandon the helpful suggestion box, especially when I am learning new things.  </p>
  
  <p>Anyone else experience this problem or know a possible solution I have not tried?</p>
