If you have the project explorer view or resource view open then it may be enumerating the files and doing operations on them in sequence. I would definitely download "process monitor" from sysinternals and watch the system activity for anything that looks familiar. If nothing else it may give you some entertainment while you are waiting on Eclipse. Even if a project is large, you should still be able to work with it as long as the sub-folders contain reasonable numbers of files. If your folders are 100's or 1000's of programs without *any* nesting then that will be painful because you won't be able to collapse and hide stuff. There is some level of optimization that avoids working on hidden items in the project explorer. You really need to run "process monitor" or "visual vm". Otherwise we are all just "guessing" about what may be happening in your environment. Also have you tried the process-of-elimination? I'd recommend excluding/deleting large segments of your project and see if/when things become better. Finally I would definitely suggest turning off "label decorations" under preferences->general->appearance->"label decorations". I have those all turned off except "OpenEdge Compile Error" which seems to perform reasonably well, and is worth a slight performance hit.
