I've noticed that too on OSX - it's not just Eclipse, any memory heavy app such as xcode causes the same. I don't get this happening in Eclipse on either my Windows or Linux installs. I think it's just very aggressive paging to disk or something similar.

It is on SSD ... and I have 32 Gigs of ram. And some of the intelij products I use have no problems - and they are java based. Windows 8.1.
But anyway on current PCs any kinds of unresponsive UI-s are inexcusable.
Ah.. weird I have no idea then. I've got an Eclipse running on Win7 SSD that has been open for over a month using 3GB of ram out of 16GB. It's very very snappy. I do have an Eclipse running on a macbook pro SSD 16GB and that one has about a 2-3 sec freeze when swapping back to Eclipse after backgrounding it for awhile, so I thought that was your issue. Maybe Win 8.1 works more similarly to OSX than Win 7?
