Description Paul Curren CLA 2004-10-25 12:11:38 EDT 
This is a problem that really shows itself up if I'm working from home on a file
system which is hosted in the office via Clearcase i.e. i'm accessing the files
over the network.

Each key press in the Java editor takes about 3 seconds to react (i.e. if I type
backspace, then the operation will happen 3 seconds later) with Eclipse frozen
in the meantime.

This makes Eclipse unusable for editing Java files from a network drive over a
slow (1Mb/sec) network. It's only the Java editor which shows the problem.

Even when working in the office, this continual access to the file system on
every key press is a bit of an overhead on our view server.

Snooping network traffic (using Ethereal) shows multiple (looks like 9)
QUERY_FILE_BASIC_INFO SMB operations ocurring for every key press (even just
cursor keys).
