How can I reduce the time that Eclipse PDT needs to startup?

Question

I'm a very patient guy but seems very annoying the long time that Eclipse takes to let me start working.

Why is that? I have a clean PDT distribution download form the Zend site. No extra plugins added.

Is this only happening to me? Does anyone else notice this delay?

Best, Demian

Run eclipse from the command line with these arguments to assign more memory to it:

eclipse -vmargs -Xms512m -Xmx1g

Note: I assume you have a RAM of 2 or more gigs
