A few things to try: 1) "Close" all open projects (right-click on a project and select 'close') and restart. See if that makes it start fast.
2) Check the network settings. A long wait time might mean it's trying to do something networky, and it's waiting for a response. Like, for the help system, it starts a little local webserver, and maybe there's a firewall issue or something. 3) Check the log, and see what it's doing when starting up. I think you can even turn on more verbose logging of startup stuff, but google will know for sure. And, that's about all I got. As for CFEclipse, there should be a new release at the next full moon, I think. Pretty soon. If you'd like to help test the preview release, which should be working on Helios, the "preview" update site is: http://cfeclipse.org/update-preview Feel free to take it for a test drive and please let us know (on the cfeclipse mailing list, preferably, tho wherever is clever, really) if you run into any show-stopper type stuff.
