I thought that would be true too, but unfortunately it doesn't get
much faster when opening subsequent files. And all editors seem to be
equally slow, including the plain-text editor. I'll try this at home
tonight on my laptop and see if it happens there too; might be
something weird on this computer.
Update: turns out it's a problem with GTK printing (and possibly a
slow-ish print server on my local network). The problem goes away when
I do either of the following things:
- add -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.disablePrinting to eclipse.ini
after -vmargs
- remove the ServerName directive from /etc/cups/client.conf

Just in case anyone else sees this issue ...
