I opened an existing project and started the JSP editor. It took 10 seconds to start up. I tried opening a second JSP, it also took 10 seconds to start the editor, so the slow startup is not a one time thing. I am running MyEclipse on WinXP with 1GB RAM, 2.4Ghz processor, and 256MB RAM devoted to Eclipse (via -mx256m). My previous JSP editor (Solare) took less than a second to open the same files.

We have been researching this issue and have some optimizations in place that we expect will shorten startup time. There is a huge difference between MyEclipse JSP Editor and Solar’s. Solar Eclipse only provides simple syntax coloring. Code completion incurs significant TLD and Java parsing overhead. I assure you we’ll get the strart up time in a very short time period but it will probably be in the 2-4 sec range.

Load times are now the same as for standar Java files due to optimizations.
