Eclipse consuming around 85% of CPU and 3 GB RAM : very slow performance

I'm using Eclipse 4.5.0 on my 16 GB RAM mac. I'm getting horrible performance. When I checked the memory usage and CPU utilization, they are around 3 GB and 85% respectively consumed by eclipse.

I tried disabling the spell check in eclipse as suggested in few answers but it didn't help me. Can someone please help?

For Eclipse, 85% is highly over normal CPU consumption, under my experience. If that situation lasts too long, may be caused by a memory issue when having opened a hugh amount of source files. Try to increase the max heap memory in eclipse.ini (Having 16Gb, you seem to have a good margin still).

I had large number of open projects in my workspace.Everytime I made any change to a project, the entire workspace(all open projects) used to get build and that was consuming lot of memory and CPU.

I turned off the build automatically (Project->Build Automatically) and the memory usage and the CPU utilization both looks good now.
