A second or two! Wow if it should be running that fast there must be
something seriously wrong with my setup. Perhaps Eclipse itself has a
problem working on network drives? Or perhaps its a windows thing...
eclipse might be able to hook into some OS-level thing when working
locally that it can't use when accessing a network drive.

Its so hard to tell with Eclipse, since it could be any one of a number
of plugins that are causing the refresh to be slow, and I have ended up
complaining about subclipse simply because that is the most visibly
affected function for me.

Is it just a matter of checking out the subclipse source, applying the
patch. Running some java compile command, and dropping a JAR somewhere?
If it's that simple I can give it a shot, as long as you can tell me
what the compile command should look like and where to put the JAR.
