At least on the Eclipse front, one thing that may not be obvious is that it comes by default with some very low and inadequate memory settings. This can lead to abysmal performance with the Android SDK.

The fix is easy: up your memory settings in eclipse.ini

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini

Specifically, I'd look at these minimum/maximum heap size settings:

  -Xms40m
  -Xmx256m
Mine has:

  -Xms128m
  -Xmx1024m

There's a tip that should be more public! I will try that.
