Eclipse for netbooks - what am I doing to improve performance on Linux?

Question

My main development environment on my Windows machine uses Eclipse, and I am very pleased with it. I synchronize all my projects in SVN and want to work on projects in a cafe without provoking my real laptop. The problem is that my netbook is quite low - this is one of the first EEEs, and now it is supposedly overclocked and still lags behind. I am running Xubuntu. Anyway, is there any Eclipse build optimized or focused on low-level hardware on Linux?

I heard about Netbeans, but I never tried, and although this is not the end of the world, it would be a bit tedious switching of my projects (maybe?). I would suggest that it will be faster, but I'm really used to the Eclipse and plugins I used.

Answer 1

You are probably out of luck with these specifications (the original EEEpc was pretty insufficient to run something like eclipse)

I would suggest using the command line instead with svn / ant / jdb / vim :). Your machine will be able to handle this, not the full-screen Eclipse IDE. In addition, you do not have much real estate on the screen? Again, using the CLI will only help in this department.
