I'd say most users use it on Windows. JavaHL is preferred. This Wiki
page explains how to get it working:

http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/JavaHL

Subclipse has to do more than a command line checkout as Eclipse does
some stuff and the svn status of all items is calculated and cached.
So it is normal for it to be slower than the command line.

For merge you should use CollabNet Desktop. This includes/works with Subclipse.
