Issue on IDE Eclipse performance (bug or feature)?

I'm trying to adjust the speed of my Eclipse IDE, I've even made the following changes to eclipse.ini

-Xms1000m
-Xmx1500m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

However, there is one thing I can't really get. When I open 2 different HTML files (index.html and index.html from another project) 50-80 LOC, it takes Eclipse 5-6 seconds to switch between them. On the other hand, when I'm dealing with 500+ LOC Java classes, Eclipse switches between them in 1-1,5 seconds. Eclipse.exe, eclipse folder and my workspace are included to exceptions in Antivirus software.

Please explain me what's happening here and is there any solution?

The initial Eclipse Juno release contained some bugs that could cause editor switching to be very slow; I think the bugs have been mostly fixed in the SR releases. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=385272 and https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=391868

Note that 4.2.2 (Juno SR2) will be available very soon (by the end of this week or beginning of next).

The first time you open HTML/XHTML files it may take a while because Eclipse loads most of the parser/validation data and tools at that time. Parsing and validating HTML/CSS/Scripts takes more time than parsing Java files.
