All Eclipse plugins are unfortunately in the same league jsp editing wise, they rely on WTP, Exadel is faster regarding JSP/JSF Editing but does not have any autocomplete preview on embedded java code. (It relies on a newer WTP Version than MyEclipse) I only can say if speed is an issue, either move away from WTP based plugins or wait for better times. To split the project into several smaller subprojects and have ant doing the merge probably is the way to go currently. I cannot say how Nitrox behaves speedwise. As for Eclipse itself, Eclipse unless you run it on a Mac is fast, memory is the keypoint, you should give Eclipse more ram that its standard settings would give it (which are around 64MB) I usually start my Eclipses with following settings: -vmargs -Xmx512m -Xms200m -XX:MaxPermSize=200m MaxPermsize has become somewhat mandatory if you run more extensive plugin collections. The settings are adjustable, you probably can push the heap size down to 256 and still have good results same goes for the max perm size down to 128 and the stack size also down to 64-128.
