Eclipse very slow

I'm programming in PHP (PDO). I have done this in gedit, but now I'm using Eclipse. The problem is that it is very slow. First I worked with a FTP connection and edited the PHP files directly in the FTP connection.

I have done some research and found these links:

I have tried to edit files on my hard drive, but that does not work for me either.

I'm working on ubuntu 12.04, with a Intel dual core 2.4GHz 4GB RAM. My computer is about 3 years old. I hope you can help me with this! It is very irritating.

On Linux, I've noticed a good performance improvement setting the Theme to Classic (was GTK).

Window -> Preferences, General, Appearance, change Theme to Classic, click Apply, restart Eclipse.

Of course eclipse.ini JVM settings also help, but I've already done that before, and besides already mentioned by the other answer.

You should try tuning the settings of the JVM in which you run eclipse, take a look at this post here on StackOverflow that list best settings for eclipse.
