Hi,
another tip to improve performance is the use of disc images. With
enough memory MacOS X seems to cache files on them much better. I have
both Eclipse and the workspaces on it.
My favourite is the sparse image which grows automatically.
hdiutil create -size 1024m -type SPARSE -fs HFS+ -volname Eclipse
Eclipse
Creates a disk image named Eclipse.sparseimage with a size of 1GB. It
takes only some MB in the filesystem and grows on automatically.
Add it to the startup items to load it at startup.
Anyway this will increase the risk of a data loss on a system crash.
