I was surprised to see you say it runs like a dog. I'm not a lover of IDEs,
but I loaded Eclipse because I was doing a touch up of some java (I'm not
the wolds best java-man so need all the help I can get), I thought Eclipse
was very good, at last an IDE that seems to be written 'for' programmers,
unlike the majority which are just written 'by' programmers.

I don't think it has entirely won me over, not that I do much programming
these days anyway, but I have been using it for the last few weeks and
haven't found any speed problems. I did think though that it might be a
nice environment for php programming.
