I am running mac OS X El Capitan. Eclipse is running really slow. Especially the scrolling. I am using the macbook's trackpad.

If there are too much data in the eclipse local history folder then it can make the eclipse project run slower and slower. You can find the eclipse local history data at your eclipse workspace folder . metadata/. plugins/org.
This has been driving me nuts! It seems that there is some bug in Eclipse that causes lag when redrawing editors when OS X is using "automatic scrollbars" (see your system settings).
I found that when changing this setting to always show scroll bars, then scrolling performance in Eclipse improved.
However, I like the automatic scrollbars, so I came up with this hack: fire up a terminal to write defaults write -app Eclipse AppleShowScrollBars Always, and now my scrollbars always show for Eclipse, but not all the other applications.
I hope this can help others out there too, until this problem receives a proper fix :-)
