Any Eclipse IDE configuration/distribution is likely never going to
start fast, at least as fast as comparable native IDEs like MS Visual
Studio.
Still, I do think that 80 seconds sounds excessive, even for those
computer specs. But it's likely a CDT issue, not an Eclipse one. Again,
this distinction has to be considered, you can't just say "There was
just something sloppy in Eclipse's startup code" or "Eclipse developers
don't care about performance issues _at all_". The projects that come
bundled in offical Eclipse distributions are not only separate projects
(JDT, CDT, WTP, PDT, Mylyn, etc.), like I mentioned in my original post,
but they are made by completely separate teams, most of them from
different companies (even for the more popular Eclipse projects).
I noticed quite a significant boost in the start up time for Eclipse
when I updated to 3.6. I'm using Eclipse classic with the Descent plugin.
