Perhaps this will help? I mean, I don't know the specs of the machine you're on, but this is nice on less powerful machines.

What are the best JVM settings for Eclipse?

Check with the eclipse.ini file and add the following java parameters and values.

-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
-Xmn128m
-Xms1024m
-Xmx1024m
-Xss2m
-XX:PermSize=256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-XX:+UseParallelGC

This worked for me. Might help.
