I may be kicking in open doors here, but have you tried this old stuff?
http://www.luisdelarosa.com/2005/04/03/how-to-get-better-memory-settings-for-eclipse-on-mac-os-x/
For me (Ubuntu - see previous post for details) this worked fairly OK on
my old 4GB system:
eclipse -Xmx150m
This included a fair bit of XML editing on top of java. (I did lot of
GUI stuff around that time.)
I can't say I love Eclipse (I'm an old emacs addict), but it's not too
shabby once you got the memory handling under some control (on a fast
machine) - known alternatives considered.
Good luck / Jonas

The issue isn't what else is running on the computer. The issue is
that Eclipse gets into an unrecoverable state where it lags horribly
when switching between editors, at least on OSX. I can typically go 5
or 6 hours of steady use (more with intermittent use) until that state
kicks in for me (MacBook Pro, 4GB, 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo). Quitting other
apps at that point doesn't make any difference. The resource leak
explanation is the only one that makes sense given my observations,
which are daily since I do this to pay my mortgage.
