I updated to Helios a couple of weeks ago.  Every once in a while I see it seeming to thrash, sometimes when I'm not doing anything.  I've watched the heap in use number cycle quickly through a couple hundred megabytes and then immediately start over again.

Today I noticed it doing this while I wasn't doing anything in Eclipse.  I looked in the log file, and I saw the following exception being continuously emitted:
