Android Eclipse Plugin Too Slow

I'm currently on a Windows 7 box with 1.83GHz processor and 1 GB RAM. I used be able to use all applications with no speed issues. I recently installed Android Plugin in Eclipse Helios and now Eclipse has slowed down badly. Running projects/creating projects/saving code changes all takes 3-4 minutes to happen. When the emulator is launched, it takes a good 10 minutes to be able to use my app. What is causing Eclipse to slow down ?? Wasting a lot of time on this. Please help.

Thanks in advance !

Usually when your using programming envionments such as eclipse it is very taxing on your computer. The emulator taking up to ten mins to run is not shocking. I also had the same problem but if you have an android device you can use it to test your programs (its almost instant compared to the emulator.)

Your system should be running on the edge of the limit when you have Eclipse and the Emulator running. If possible work on a device or check the CPU/RAM usage while working. You should be able to see where the bottleneck is.

If you have Windows XP somewhere, I strongly recommend to switch back to XP...
