 From the Fedora wiki:

<<Many Eclipse projects release annually in June. The 2011 version of 
this simultaneous release is known as "Indigo" and is made up of 39 
projects and 33 million lines of code. The foundation of these projects 
is the Eclipse project itself, producing the Eclipse SDK which contains 
the Eclipse Platform, the Eclipse Java Development Tools (JDT), and the 
Eclipse Plugin Development Environment (PDE).>>

33 million lines of code! The mind boggles. I haven't found it to be 
slow or particularly piggy in terms of resource utilization. 
Thunderbird, Firefox, and Google Chrome are all much piggier.
