My eclipse workspace has just one android project in it and is set to \"build automatically\". Every time I make a change to some code, and save the change, the workspace build

This might be something that's a part of the slowness, although it doesn't explain why it's quick after a new import, and then slows down: Android compilation is slow (using Eclipse)
