I am running Mac OS X 10.5.2 with the latest patches, bzr-1.3, Eclipse 3.3.1.1 and the same bzr-eclipse versions as Andrew on an iBook (1.2 GHz, 1.2 GB RAM) and bzr-eclipse really feels slow to me. When bzr-eclipse is running, I see a lot of bzr processes being forked in the Activity-Monitor (or top) and my notebook is really hogged by these.
I kind of worked around this behaviour by implementing a small HTTP-bzr-service and a small curl-script which is invoked instead of bzr. This really speeds up a lot of operations. However some are not working correctly (bzr nick as it looks in the cwd) and quoting the message of a commit isn't implemented right now.
I already had a look into the bzr eclipse code and I think it should be possible to start up such a bzr-service for every project being shared with bzr and executing commands via java.net.URL.
If anyone is interested in the code, I put a copy of my bzr-repo at:
