How to make the eclipse IDE to build faster

Question

I am using Eclipse for development. However, it's is taking too much time to build. It hangs when the percentage of build gets to 78. It shows "refreshing workspace" several times. That eats up lots of time.

How can I make Eclipse faster?

Answer 1

1. Increase the start-up memory as mentioned by thamaria
2. Disable spell check of eclipse
3. Disable the plugins which you never use it (myln etc)
4. Disable auto build.
