i had pre-christmas at work when after coming from my holidays i was presented with a new intel quad core pc. my colleages even already had installed a parallel XP/ubuntu on it. great, i thought "i can immediatly start working!". as long as the new monodevelop is not released, i am still stuck with eclipse (ganymede ). all i now had to do was i needed to install ganymede... after downloading ganymede from eclipse homepage, i fired it up but was very confused: eclipse behaved very sluggish.... ok, i am used to it behaving sluggish from my old machine (a p4 2100 with ubuntu), but i thought it should be quite fast with the new cpu. but i could barely work in a normal way: when doing a search, after pressing the shortcut i needed to wait for like 2 secs until i could press something that he'd recognize. and then after some time eclipse would crash with a "out of memory" exceptions. it also crashed sometimes with some other exceptions. this behavior and the fact that
