Slow Children Playing_256_icon120

The issue with JavaDoc causing code asssist freezes is indeed a problem in Eclipse Helios (not in Android JavaDoc files).
This is fixed for 3.7: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=329288

There is a back-port of this fix for Eclipse 3.6 SR1,
discussed here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/msg/0f9d2a852e661cba

Applying the fix is easy, you just replace org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.6.1.v_A68_R36x.jar inside your Eclipse plugins folder with the file provided in the above message. Here is a direct link: http://adt-addons.googlecode.com/svn/patches/org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.6.1.v_A68_R36x.zip

Kostya Vasilyev submitted a request for this fix to be released with 3.6 SR2 , coming at the end of February.
