Eclipse slow on OSX?

Just as a quick note...

I always noticed using eclipse for android development on my macbook pro was torturously slow, but I didn't realized there was a solution (a pretty odd one at that).

Download the 32bit carbon build. Seems kind of weird considering carbon is the legacy technology and 32bit seems like an unnecessary restriction.

Eclipse is considerably faster on osx in this configuration.

Hope it helps someone and their sanity!
