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 ...
