Recently, typing in python in PyDev editors has become extremely slow. Slowly to such an extent that after entering the function name I need to wait for the letters to appear one after another for several seconds. Even inside comments and lines. Other editors are fine.
I tried suggestions on other issues, such as disabling automatic building, but not getting the effect.
Restarting Eclipse does not solve the problem, but after a reboot the situation is better.
I am running PyDev 3.9.2 / Eclipse 4.4.2 with Oracle Java 1.8 64bit on CentOS 7. Eclipse starts with -Xms512m and -Xmx2048m . The system is an old Intel Core i7 with 8 GB of memory.

I appreciate any suggestions to find the cause of the problem.
Update: There is still a problem with PyDev v4.1. I sent an error report to PyDev to track problems: ID 582
Update 2: the bug was fixed in PyDev v4.2.
