title: Eclipse Android XML files freezing
body: <p>I have a major problem with Eclipse.  Well, I have 100 problems with Eclipse (because it is a garbage IDE), but let me just clarify this one.  I am doing Android development.  Every time I open, close, or save an XML file, Eclipse freezes for 5 minutes (and hogs the majority of my system's CPU).  This happens for every XML file in my android project.  And this happens all day long.  Needless to say that I have lost countless hours of development time because Eclipse Foundation cannot make a solid IDE.  In fact I think Google should dump Eclipse Foundation in the garbage and create their own dedicated IDE for Android.....  but I digress.</p>
  
  <p>I have already disabled indexing for my workspace directories on Windows.  And I have read the countless posts on StackOverflow about how to optimize the Eclipse.ini file.  I have tried it all.  I have reinstalled Eclipse multiple times.  I have a Win 7 64bit machine running on an i7 processor with 8GB of RAM!!  I don't know what else to do besides switch to a Linux-based distro or buy a new laptop.  Can somebody give me a professional advice?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you,
  Igor</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong>
  My wishes came true with Android Studio, and I use that now as my sole IDE.</p>
